Frequently Asked Questions
What is sepia tone?
Sepia is a warm, brownish color tone originally used in old photographs from the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Why were old photos sepia-toned?
Early color photography used sepia tones naturally due to the photochemical processes used. It became the iconic vintage look.
What intensity should I use?
Start with 70-90% for a natural vintage look. Use 100% for bold sepia, or less than 50% for subtle toning.
Works on colored and B&W photos?
Yes! Sepia works beautifully on both color and black & white photos.
Is image quality affected?
Applying the filter changes the image pixels and creates a processed result. Review the output if preserving source detail is important.
Can I undo the sepia effect?
The original image is never modified. Simply reload to get the original, or adjust intensity before applying.
