AUGUST 14, 2002 Creating an Aged Photograph in Photoshop
Applying a sepia tone to a color image There are several ways to apply a sepia tone to a color image in Photoshop. The easiest is simply to run the Photoshop Action called "Sepia Toning (layer)," which is located in your default actions. This works fine, but I'm going to show you a different way that I think provides you with more control for the requirements of your individual image. [an error occurred while processing this directive] 1. Select Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Gradient Map. Apply the default black to white gradient, which will hide the colors in your image. (Alternately, you could simply desaturate the image, but, as I say, the adjustment layer is the less destructive approach.) 
2. Select Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Color Balance. When the dialog pops up, adjust Red to +51 and yellow to -27. (You can vary this somewhat depending on your particular image and what you think looks best. Keep in mind that you might be adjusting this later on after we've made more changes to the image.) When you make these changes, make sure you've selected "Midtones" and "Preserve Luminosity."
