A friend is doing a calendar for a charity (photos and printing). He asked advice on the Photoshop settings to create a uniform sepia look throughout.

He will be shooting using studio flash set up, Canon Camera, RAW files to be converted to photoshop TIFFs.

Any advice regards to Photoshop CS2 levels etc to produce the result would be appreciated. I'm sure there is a Photoshop guru out there who can hopefully assist. :?


Regards

Tony

anymore technical information that is required I'll have to ask him for you.

Just make an hue and adjustment layer above the picture layer and click colorize and pick a red/yellow hue and adjust the opacity to suit is one way.

Hope this helps

This can only be done visually as the ”density” of each photo will presumably differ. For example if there is a pic that has lots of highlights it will look totally different from one that lacks highlights.

:wink:

You can make an action out of that, I do think there was an action included in ps 7, if you want it I can email it to you
