Sepia

I've always been a fan of Sepia images, I like the feel they give the picture. 


Today I made my own in Photoshop, and its very easy!

First i converted my image to greyscale, make sure you use the adjustments panel so that it adds a new layer and you also get this dialog box. 


There is then a little box that comes up with the word 'tint', click that box.


The drop down box at the top of the dialog box allows you to change the colour of the tint. 


This is the colour i used and this is my final result. 


I use the sepia effect in my work quite a lot and ive become quite a fan of it over the years. I think it almost gives the viewer a new take on the image almost like it has a history. After doing some research I found that a lot of people have thought it looks very fake when done digitally but i disagree. I think if its done well, it looks very good.
