I use a twist on a B&W conversion technique to make sepia tone
images.
You use a pair of Hue/Saturation adjustment layers. The lower layer
is set to Color blend. The uper layer is left a Normal blend.
Instead of setting Saturation to -100 for the upper layer, you
instead set Hue to 50, Saturation to 20, and Lightness to +5. Voila,
a sepia tone.
You can make contrast adjustments to the lower layer. You can adjust
saturation and hue with adjustments to the upper layer. You can even
pick a different tone altogether.

I modified my TLRSepiaTone action set to use the technique, too.
