Might I be so bold as to suggest you go about this a different way? Rather than an adjustment layer, convert your image to greyscale (you may want to make a copy of the original file since this will delete all color information) and then convert it to a quadtone. With your image up go to Image>Mode>Grayscale Then Image>Mode>Duotone This brings up a dialog box. In the dropdown box you can select duo, tri or quad tone. Do a quad...you'll get the best color output. A nice looking sepia can be had by using the following settings. For the color blocks, use a Pantone process colors...cyan, yellow, magenta and black then set the curves as follows: Cyan is 0:0 50:65 100:65 All other values are left blank Magenta is 0:0 50:48.1 100:53 All other values are left blank Yellow is 0:0 50:60.6 100:51 All other values are left blank Black is 0:0 50:18 100:94 All other values are left blank You can further adjust by playing with the colors and curves but this gives a nice sepia output. Also, Photoshop ships with some built-in quad settings...you just have to find them within your Photoshop directories. Hope this helps.
