Hi Kostas, Here is another way to achieve it (the duotone methodes may be better, but more adapted to CMYK printers; if you are using an Epson printer or another desktop printers, they want RGB). Use the channel mixer as you already have. Then choose New Layer and in the option, choose fill layer.. You'll be presented with the color picker and can choose whichever color you want near sepia or so.. Don't worry about the choice of color, it can easily be changed.. Just take one.. And click OK; this will add a special color layer over your picture. Now go to the layer palette, and set the opacity level .. You can adjust the slider to get what you want.. You can click on the layer icon showing you the color and change the color using the color picker again.. It seems somewhat better to start with a relatively vivid color (or the darktones won't be colored) and to adjust the opacity slider.. You can also change the blending mode. There are a lot of options and you can test everything and then choosing the one you prefer (note your settings for the next time). This apply to PS 7.0 If you have an earlier version, just add a new layer, Select all and fill it with the paint bucket and or the Edit/fill command, then adjust the opacity. I kind of like this method; for me, it's just like using a filter.. Good luck with the work.. -- Christiane
