 FAQ

Why would I use sepia tone for my photos?

Sepia tones add a timeless, vintage quality to photos. They're perfect for creating nostalgic images, enhancing portrait photography, designing retro-themed marketing materials, or giving modern photos a classic, warm aesthetic.
Does applying sepia tone affect image quality?

No, applying sepia tone doesn't reduce image quality or resolution. It only changes the color balance of your image. However, the final quality will depend on the original image's resolution and quality.
What's the difference between sepia tone and black and white?

While black and white photos contain only grayscale values (from black to white), sepia tone adds warm brown tints to what would otherwise be a grayscale image. Sepia creates a warmer, softer look compared to the stark contrast of black and white.
How do brightness and contrast settings affect sepia tone images?

Brightness controls the overall lightness of your sepia image, while contrast affects the difference between dark and light areas. Increasing contrast can create a more dramatic vintage look, while decreasing it creates a softer, dreamier appearance.
