The purpose of this exercise is to help you learn how to apply a sepia tone to a black & white photograph using Adobe Photoshop. First things first, you may be asking yourself, “What in the heck is Sepia?” Sepia is a warm rich brownish tone that gives photos a nice antique feeling. It is used monochromatically rather than using full color or black and white.

One of the “secrets” of adding a great-looking color tint to a photo is starting with a great black and white image. Thanks to the new Black & White command in the Photoshop CS3 Beta, it’s very simple to create a great black and white image–and add a color tint.

Step One
Although you can apply the Black & White command from the Image>Adjustments menu, I highly recommend using an Adjustment Layer instead (you’ll see why a little later). From the Layers palette popup menu, choose Black & White from the Adjustment Layer menu. Here’s the result without changing any settings:

Car accidents are unpredictable and each one is different. This is why we wanted to be able to put our cars through the most rigorous safety tests and study the outcome of thousands of different scenarios. But we couldn’t find anywhere to do this that met our standards and requirements – so we built our own facility. It’s the largest indoor crash test centre in the world, and it enables us to test our vehicles from all possible angles. Because anything can happen in real life. But as well as the cars we wanted to look at the people involved in accidents – how we could ensure the safety of pedestrians as well as passengers. That’s why we developed the POLAR II pedestrian crash test dummy. The world’s most sophisticated unit of its kind, it’s the closest anyone has come to replicating the real reactions of the human body in a crash scenario.

Sometimes, you can add uniqueness and interest to an ordinary looking (but well-composed) color photograph just by draining all the color from it except for one or two well-placed elements of the photo. In digital photography, you can do it very easily it in just a few minutes. I did this with Adobe PhotoShop Elements 2. I’m sure it can be done with equal ease using other photo editing software such as Paint Shop Pro, Adobe PhotoShop CS, etc. The nomenclature may be a little different, but the basic steps will be similar.

Developing images for the web (or for distribution through a web browser) is tricky in that you have to walk a fine line between having beautiful graphics and having images that load quickly. The larger the image (memory-wise), the longer it will take to load, and the more impatient your user will get waiting for it.

In addition, you can’t use just any file format for the web, you have to use one that is compatible with browsers and html. Currently, you have two file format options for web images, GIF and JPEG.
