Change Hues of your image by IMAGE-ADJUST-HUE/SATURATION. Check box that says colorize and preview or check it by default. It’s your choice if you like to adjust top bar to color you want for your image, or just type in numbers. Saturation is how much of hue you chose will be used on your image. For adjusting lightness, lightness slider does trick. Try not to go crazy over this last bar (lightness).
Then, adjust darks and lights. Even if you think your image is already so great and you wouldn't want to mess it up try this – select IMAGE-ADJUST-LEVELS. Three sliders will appear – first will make your image lighter, another will make it darker, and last one adjusts midtones. Adjust on these sliders depending on image you use. Once you’re done, hit CONTROL-Z or EDIT-UNDO MOVE to see your image before adjustments. It will switch back to original image. If you hit CTRL-Z or EDIT-UNDO MOVE again, it will toggle back to image with level adjustment you just applied. If you like to have fun, go over it again and again! Just don’t blame us if you get bored!
And we haven’t told you that you can do different types of hues? So, we’re telling you now! If you’ll be doing this types of images for web great thing is that you can save them as a GIF and they will look wonderful. File sizes will not be a problem since you are using lesser colors! Good luck with your sepia! -30-
