That's cool. Try the slight curves adjustment by itself to give yourself a little more tone when you have the time. Exposing with a little more detail to the right at time of capture would help with more range too :-)

Best of luck.

You're right about exposing correctly at the time of capture.. If only I could master that.. I'd be one happy girl! I'm learning as I go along... It's been a busy year of figuring out too many things.. give me another year to perfect it. LOL :)

Thanks again for your help.. Very much appreciated. :)

If anyone else has suggestions on Specific sepia tone colors, I'm all ears... Sepia isn't my favorite, and I don't like it yellow-ish, but would rather see it a brown-ish or chocolate type of color. :)
Happy Day! :)

Looks great to me, both sepia versions. I dont mind the hot-spots there... I think most people are scared of them, but they can add something to an image. I love this picture, I DO think it looks better in sepia than colour, tbh. But then, I am a sepia and B&W fan! :)

You're welcome. Try the duotone/tritone but instead of picking a yellow ink for ink3 try a darker or lighter brown colour. You could also try adding a HSL layer and then desaturating the yellows.

Have you tried the "color" blending mode?

1) Use the channel mixer to create a monochromatic image.
2) Adjust the sliders for the contrast you are looking for
3) Add a new layer and fill it with the brown colour that you like
4) Change the layer blending mode to color.
5) Play with the opacity of the coloured layer.
