Sepia Toning. Text and images Copyright (C) 2002 Eric R. Jeschke and may not be used without permission of the author. Intention In this tutorial I'll show you how to sepia tone a color or black and white image. This technique is modeled on the traditional darkroom method of sepia toning in that the sepia color is applied "unevenly" to areas of different tonality.

It works much better than most of the simple methods I've seen for image editors and provides great control! The basic technique is to create a "Sepia Mask" that will apply a sepia color layer according to a layer mask that is based on the tonality of the image. The Procedure Here is the original image, loaded into GIMP. Step 1 You can compare the result we will get below to GIMP's built-in Script-Fu for sepia toning (<Image> Script-Fu -> Decor -> Old Photo) as shown at right. Step 2 Duplicate the original image (<Image> Image -> Duplicate or Ctrl+D). Using whatever technique you like best, convert the duplicate to B&W. Step 3 Step 4 Step 5. Wilber-loves-Apple.
