Hi Juliana:

There was a recent discussion about Sepia... check out this thread.

Also, some very cool toning actions can be found here:

Click on the Black and White tab, then Classic Tones. The action download link is at the bottom of the page.

Hi Juliana,

You've, probably, already tried it ..... if not, in its 'Default Actions' Photoshop has a 'Sepia Toning (layer)' action ....

I normally desaturate the image, or channel mixer with monochrome checked to make it first black and white. Then I add 40R -7G -40B under color balance, and I can get a nice brown town. Play with the color settings for a more "truer" sepia tone.
