Does anyone have any tips for creating a light sepia toned image in photoshop? I have played around with duotones but I have never really liked any of the sepia tones I create. I have seen a lot of wedding photographers on this forum with a great, light sepia tone color that I am dying to mimic.
Any advice or suggestions?

Hey Sky,
I use Kubota's Artistic Set for the warming filter. Not quite sepia. Nice and warm. I love it. I can post a sample if you want.

Thanks Alisha, please do post!
Try turning your photo to black and white using some form of desaturation besides turning to grayscale. Then, go into curves, selectively go into each channel and tweak your curves to your desired setting. You may lean toward moving the blue curve toward the yellow spectrum and the green curve a little into the magenta... but that's all up to you.
There are faster ways out there, ie: action sets. I can't wait to see Alisha's.

I added noise to this pictures. And maybe the pnix filter/action before the warm filter *I don't remember but I 99% of the time run the pnix action if I turn anything Black and White*. But you can get a general idea.
Is this what you are looking for?

That's nice Alisha!!!
For a quick desaturated sepia tone, pull up hue and saturation in PS, click "colorize," and change "Hue" to 34 and "Saturation" to 13. Hit "ok," and then pull up Hue and Saturation again and desaturate 50 points.
This what we have called "Sepia Desaturated" or "SepiaD"

Thanks!, I tried your SepiaD on a few shots and I liked it a lot. It is easier and faster to tweak my own tone in.

Here are a couple of examples of my trial with Nathan's "SepiaD"
Thanks again
Thanks again
Sky, awesome stuff!!!! Glad it worked so well for you!!!
That was me...

I am curious about Kubota's warm black & whites...
Did you post a sample - I can't see it on this post.
I know he does b&W with just the middle tones colored (warm or cool) using a gradiant map.. haven't figured out yet how to make it work and get desparate
Anybody can give me step by step instructions... I think I this similates closest the rich warmton fiberpapers, rahter than just an added layer of sepia.
Servus!
