How to arrive at a sepia tone......in a hurry.... Thanks

Hi All,
I have looked at the presets for sepia tone, it basically sucks.... Any body who has ever done sepia toning would find the results garish. But I can not for the life of me figure out how to duplicate the look my self, or how to adjust the result of the preset.
May be I am just tired (worked 12 hours today....)
Could some body please give me an idea how to achieve a BxW Toned look to photos? I would like to do sepia for this client, but may need to do other colors in the future.
Thanks in advance!! And if it is really easy and I missed it, I apologize, like I said I am tired and need to get this done. Thanks again

I'm using PS Elements 2.0 with Windows. Trying to do a photocollage of old (sepia) photos. I edited the photos individually, then moved them to the large photocollage, and while highlighted, added the sepia tone with Layers, Hue/Saturation, colorize, then set the 3 settings for each. (When I initially had tried to add the sepia and then move the individual photos over, it came up blank, because only the fill layer was moved, rather than the image.) When I tested these individually by printing them out, it worked fine. But when I created the final photocollage, moved the images separately over to it, and re-created the sepia tone with my test settings, the first one or two worked fine, but then all the others showed up with the same setting - they all had the same sepia tone, but not the one I had set for them. In addition, they were all washed out - no contrast, different shade of sepia than I wanted, very faded with low resolution. Even black ornamental touches showed up as sepia when I moved them, without my adding any sepia to them. I was also unable to edit them in their Layers fill palette - when I lowered or raised the settings arrow, nothing changed in the photos. I was only able to use the Enhance/Brightness-Contrast settings to set more contrast, but not able to change the sepia color. When I increased the contrast, eventually it got very RED and unattractive. When I printed these out, they were not much better than before I added more contrast. Why is this happening, and what can I do about it? What is the best way to get sepia tone in PS Elements?

Can I remove sepia tone but keep crop and other tone settings?

I can't figure out how to remove the creative setting "Sepia tone" without resetting all settings on an image. Is there a way?

You may be able to Copy the latest settings (using the COPY button below the History Panel). Highlight the latest settings in the History Panel and click COPY.
In the Pop-up screen, select only those changes that you made after applying the Preset, such as exposure, etc by ticking appropriate boxes.
Then Click on History Step before the Sepia Tone step. Click Copy.
It may not work if some of your changes after applying the Sepia Tone altered any settings that the Sepia Tone also alters. You can find what changes the Sepia Tone Preset makes, by right clicking on it in the Presets panel. Export it to, say, your desktop and view its contents using a text editor. The Sepia Tone does change the Tone Curve, Converts to Black and White, and alters Gray Scale Settings among other changes.
So maybe if you experiment with the Copy and paste, you may get close to removing its effects.
Otherwise, I do not know of a way of removing it without also undoing all your post Sepia Tone changes.
Maybe someone else knows a way.

ColorSync and color profile stuck in sepia tone!

This is a detailed post explaining my problem and everything I've tried. Please help me!
My 1-year-old likes to jam on the keyboard of my iMac G4 (he's a regular mac lover, he is), and as such sometimes messes things up. I never thought he could do any damage to the OS that I couldn't fix, and I have the restore set. Now he's messed it up and I DON'T have the restore set.
Model: iMac G4 800mhz w/ upgraded memory and OS X 10.4.7.
Basically my screen is displaying in nothing but sepia tones. The desktop environment, applications, video, 3D apps...everything. Here is the list of things I attempted that have not worked thus far:
1. Tried changing the filters settings in ColorSync Utility. No filters were set.
2. Tried changing color profiles in Displays, only made slight changes to the same sepia tones (contrast and whatnot)
3. Used First Aid to Verify and Repair my profiles. No problems detected. Still sepia.
4. Tried to create a Calibrated Generic RGB profile without using Expert Mode, to no avail.
I have no idea how to tweak individual RGB settings, especially with no plain RGB shades to work with. Please explain this to me as if I were a 3rd grader...I know that if my baby was able to change this in a few seconds, it's got to be something really simple or else he's an evil mastermind. I'm just missing it somewhere. Help me!

Check System Preferences>Universal Access>Seeing to see if any options are turned on that shouldn't be. Some of them can be easily turned on with keyboard shortcuts.

Colorsync : sepia tone versus sepia image correction

Hello,
When using Colorsync, you can change an image to *"sepia tone"* using a predefined profile. But there's also a "Sepia" slider when you click on the *"image correction"* button. However, they give a totally different result...
The first one gives a result that looks more or less like the ones being taken immediately from a camera with the sepia filter selected, while the second one (from the "image correction" slider) seems totally wrong. How come?
If I do the conversion to sepia in (e.g.) Picasa or Photoshop, they seem to look like the (correct?) "sepia tone"-version. But on the other side, (e.g.) Pixelmator and Seashore give the (wrong?) "image correction"-version...
Now, I'm interpreting them as "correct" and "wrong", but actually, I can't image that (e.g.) Pixelmator would do a "totally wrong" sepia conversion — so that brings me to this: *what's the difference between these two sepia-versions*?
I don't have enough knowledge about this, so I hope someone can help me out here...

I tried using the algorithm, but it turned my image
purple rather than brow. :(The Delphi code has bug.
A simpler version does work:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.image.*;
public class Sepia{
public static void main(String[] args){
 ImageIcon iic = new ImageIcon("Pic6.jpg");
 Image img = iic.getImage();
 ImageFilter filter = new SepiaFilter();
 img = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage
 (new FilteredImageSource(img.getSource(), filter));
 iic.setImage(img);
 JLabel lab = new JLabel(iic);
 JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, lab);
 System.exit(0);
class SepiaFilter extends RGBImageFilter {
int depth;
public SepiaFilter(int d){
 if (d < 0){
 d = 0;
 depth = d;
 canFilterIndexColorModel = true;
public SepiaFilter(){
 this(20);
public int filterRGB(int x, int y, int rgb){
 int r, g, b, gry;
 Color c = new Color(rgb);
 r = c.getRed();
 g = c.getGreen();
 b = c.getBlue();
 gry = (r + g + b) / 3;
 r = g = b = gry;
 r = r + (depth * 2);
 g = g + depth;
 if (r > 255){
 r = 255;
 if (g > 255){
 g = 255;
 c = new Color(r, g, b);
 return c.getRGB();
}

Sepia Tone

PSE 4.0; WIN XP; Can anyone tell me how to get a sepia tone rendition of an image. I can get from color to b/w (Image>Mode>gray Scale, etc.) but don't know how to get the brown-bronze Sepia.
Have not been successful using the HELP file. Appreciate any advice either to this forum or to my email at : [email protected]

Marc, Since this question comes up so often, here is my "canned" sepia presentation. It is for PSE2 so there might be slight differences in PSE4. Method 1 -------- 1. If image is greyscale, convert to RGB: Image -> Mode -> RGB Color 2. Enhance -> Adjust Color -> Hue/Saturation 3. Click Colorize box to convert picture to one color 4. Slide hue to the left to get a sepia tone, and adjust saturation. Try 30 and 25 for starters. 5. Optionally, add contrast: or Enhance -> Adjust Brightness/Contrast -> Levels Note: steps 2,5 can be done on adjustment layers. Method 2 -------- 1. If image is in greyscale, convert it to RGB: Image -> Mode -> RGB Color 2. Remove any color: Enhance -> Adjust Color -> Remove Color 3. Enhance -> Adjust Color -> Color Variations. 4. Select Midtones 5. Start with Amount slider one notch left of the middle. 6. Increase Red once. 7. Decrease Blue once. 8. If results not OK, Reset Image, move Amount Slider and try again. 9. Optionally: Fine-tune color with Hue/Saturation layer. To make photo look grainy, Filter -> Noise -> Add Noise Method 3 -------- 1. In Layer Styles, choose Photographics Effects -> Sepia Tone. 2. Make further adjustments using Enhance -> Adjust Color -> Hue/Saturation Method 4 -------- 1. If image is in RGB, remove color: Enhance -> Color -> Remove Color. 2. If image is in grayscale, convert it to RGB: Image -> Mode -> RGB Color. 3. Choose Layer -> New Fill Layer -> Solid Color. Name the layer, choose Overlay from Blend Mode drop down menu. 4. Pick a sepia color using color picker, click OK. 5. Go to Layers palette and lower adjustment layers opacity to 40 % (experiment with this setting, it's just a starting point). 6. For softer effect, change adjustment layer Blend Mode to Color. 7. To further adjust color, double-click adjustment layer icon in palette. Method 5 -------- 1. Create a solid color adjustment layer above your image, with your choice of brown. 2. Set the solid color adjustment layer's blend mode to color. You may want to desaturate image before applying the brown tone: Enhance -> Adjust Color -> Remove Color You don't have to do this but it is something to consider. 3. Futher adjust by double clicking adjustment layer icon to change color, or adding a hue/saturation layer to adjust color. Method 6 (Gradient Map) ----------------------- 1. Desaturate image: Enhance -> Adjust color -> Remove color 2. Create Gradient Map adjustment layer. 3. When Gradient Map dialog comes up, you are on default gradient. Click it to open full Gradient dialog. Select sepia from Patti's Classic Duotones. (Classic Duotones are at www.adobestudioexchange.com/item/10279). 4. Set blend mode of gradient layer to Multiply. Shortcut: In step 2 hold down <Alt> when clicking adjustment layer icon. This allows you to choose Multiply blend mode before selecting gradient. 5. Further adjust sepia by adding Hue/Saturation layer. Method 7 -------- Print -> Properties -> Effects -> Monochrome Effects

B&W and Sepia tone

I've seen once how to convert to B&W and Sepia, but can't find it now. Need tips. Thank you

In the adjustments panel you have a monochrome mixer to convert to BW and there is also a Sepia Tone Adjustment, for my taste a value of 0.3/0.4 looks best.

All of My B&W pics have a unwanted sepia tone???

All of my B&W photos have a sepia tone to them when I open them in Bridge or Photoshop. Opening them in Autodesk Sketechbook Pro no such issue.
When a folder containing B&W photos is loading in Bridge the thumbnails are initially grayscale but develop the sepia cast after it has completely opened.
In Photoshop I can go to view - proof setup - monitor rgb and get rid of the sepia cast My color setting are appear to correct.

Thanks for reply. I'm currently working with cs5 in Windows 7 Home. After opening Photoshop and I go to file- open the selected file opens with all the B&W pictures without having the toning sepia. However,the moment I select a file to open the resulting thumbnail at the bottom of the window has the sepia toning and the file opens with the sepia toning. Also remember original email i do not have this issue when opening a B&W file in Autodesk Sketchbook Pro which makes me believe it is a Photoshop issue.

In short, your monitor profile is bad or at least doesn't even closely match the output characteristics of your monitor. This profile is associated with the monitor at the operating system level.
What operating system do you have?

How can i get a specific tone for my vip email alert. all tones are in my ringtones, but only some show up in the alerts for email.

i cannot get my all my ringtones to transfer to my vip email alerts. there is a specific tone I need for one vip email alert, but that one doesn't transfer, however it IS in my ringtones and textones. how can I get that particular tone for my vip email?

Only Apple Account Security could help at this point. You can try calling Apple Support in Canada - you'll have to find one of the several ways, such as Skype, to call an 800 number from outside of the relevant country - and ask for Account Security and see if they can help. Or you can find a friend who speaks Chinese and ask them to help you talk to Apple Support in China. There are really no other options that I know of.
Note, by the way, that these are user-to-user support forums. You aren't speaking with Apple when you post here.

How to arrive same day two difference prices for same material/customer

how to arrive same day two difference prices for same material/customer.pls give the solution
thanks in advance
Aravinthan.K

Hi
This is possible through some careful customization
In your condition table you need to bring the field PRICE LIST
That is customer/ Material/ Price list
That is customer ABCD / Material X / Price list 01---Price is Rs 10
That is customer ABCD / Material X / Price list 02---Price is Rs 20
The condition records to be maintained like this
So same material and same customer with price list 01 price is Rs 10 and with price list 02 price is Rs 20
Now in sales order you will find price list field in item details SALES B tab
Through incompletion log you can make this field as an mandatory field
Now in sales order same material and same customer according to the price lists different price is picked
In img-sd-basic functions-Maintain Price-Relevant Master Data Fields--here you can define different price lists
Regards

How to set up different ring tone for Facetime

how to set up different ring tone for Facetime

I don't think that on an iPhone that FaceTime has a separate setting, you can only set a ringtone (which will apply to phone calls) via Settings > Sounds, or set different tones for different contacts via the Contacts app - but you can't have a separate sound for FaceTime
