Old black and white prints, degrading with time, often used to take up a brownish hue.
The same effect was also simulated in the lab using special chemical processing called
Sepia Sulphide Toning (or Sepia in short), which used to give a nostalgic look to the image.
Now you can easily produce the same effect in photo editing software with built-in filters as well as
adjusting the color balance. Although sepia toning brings an oldish feeling, the picture above is not that old.
It was shot last month during the school concert where my daughter took part. I spotted the two youngsters waiting
for their performance with their huge cellos, and took several shots from the audience using available light.
Later I used Paint Shop Pro to convert the color.

Sepia effect goes particularly well with subject matters representing the past.
For example, a century-old building shown in this picture. Sepia toning can be of different gradations
from cold (like the first image) to warm (like the one above).
