Hello all, I was going trhough the gallery and I found an image that was colored in photoshop using a beautiful monochromatic style and the author of the picture said the picture was done in Sepia Tone, can any one tell me how to do this technique or is ther a tutorial on how to do this? Thanks

you could convert the file to greyscale, and then convert it to Duotone/tritone/quadtone, though duotone will give the sepia effect. Just select the two inks you want to use for the document, and you can have a customized sepia-like topne if ya want.

Or... Just create in grayscale and, when you're done, convert to RGB or CMYK and play around with the colour balance options untill you get the sepia look.

you could stay in rgb and fade from full colour RGB to sepia, duplicate layer desaturate make new layer the colour of sepia set layer mode to screen, I'll try this my self before saying anymore. I'm sure there should be a disclaimer about the pic

duplicate layer - image -adjust-desaturate create new layer fill with a colour like RGB r=94 g=58 b=0 set layer mode from normal to screen, 50% opacity duplicate theis layer and set layer mode to overlay add layer mask to suit your taste btw stopped what, the disclaimer or giving advice before try-ing it them selves.
