FAQ
- How is the sepia effect created?
- The image is first converted to grayscale using luminosity weighting, then each pixel is tinted with a warm brown colour. Standard sepia values add approximately 112 to the red channel, 66 to green, and 20 to blue.
- Can I adjust the intensity of the sepia effect?
- The tool applies the standard sepia effect at full intensity. For variable intensity, use the blend mode controls in a full image editor.
- What is the difference between sepia and grayscale?
- Grayscale removes all colour, producing neutral grey tones. Sepia replaces colour with warm brown tones, giving a vintage photographic appearance.
