denisgermain Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 what can't you do directly in Photoshop? http://www.escrappers.com/sepia.html or try using Duotones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patricklavoie Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Good filter? 3 method. easy to do. with the best photoshop plugin...photoshop itself : ) 1_color balance in color mode. play with the hue and the saturation or 2_empty layer / color mode / apply the color you want on that layer or 3_mode change / duotone / 2 color set / apply the color you want on top / black as the second color.

Mike D Posted February 17, 2006 Author Share Posted February 17, 2006 Pat, I like the effect from the 3rd (duotone) method. However, I open the TIFF file, apply the sepia tone, but I can't save the file as a TIFF file. What do I need to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denisgermain Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 simply change the IMage mode back to RGB colors.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjfraser Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 I want to thank Patrick for pointing out again and again that, as he says, the best plug-in is Photoshop itself. With the exception of noise reduction, many plug-ins really are superfluous, and often they offer less control that is available in PS itself. A better investment for the same money would be a good PS how-to book such as Martin Evening's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heller_harris Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Hi - There should be a Sepia action pre-loaded in PS. IMO, the sepia actions are usually too heavy and muddy, just overlaying everything with a ruddy brown color. <p> <a href="http://www.russellbrown.com/tips_tech.html"> Russell Brown </a> and <a href="http://www.gormanphotography.com/bw_conversion.pdf"> Greg Gorman </a> have posted free photoshop tutorials for converting color to toned B&W. Russell Brown offers a stand-alone Action; Gorman includes instructions for recording your own. <p> Both techniques produce very good results, and can be combined with other B&W conversion techniques, e.g, Caponigro's method. Once you try this approach, it's hard to go back to basic PS sepia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom moore Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Try using a photo filter adjustment layer on a B&W image. --Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
