You have probably seen photos that have a monotone, brownish tint to them. This tint is called sepia tone. Sepia tone is often used to make a photo appear old-fashioned. It can also be used to create a timeless effect or to add an artistic element. In the age of digital photo editing, creating a sepia tone for a photo is very simple.
Instructions
1. Acquire a digital photo. This can be done either by transferring images from a digital camera or by scanning a photo to your computer.
2. Convert the photo to black and white. Most editing software will have have a desaturate or black-and-white button for this, but it can also be done manually by setting the saturation of the photo to zero.
3. Open the option in your editing software that allows you to change the hue and saturation of your photo.
4. Set the hue of the photo to 22 and the saturation to 27 for starters.
5. Modify the hue and saturation until you achieve the tone you desire.
