Sepia Colourization
We are now going to colourize our image.
- Click on Colours, Increase Colour Depth, 16 millions.
The image has been encoded again in 16.7 million colours, a pre-requisite to be able to apply a colour effect (the transcoding
of the image into grey scale mode had reduced the number of colours to 256). - Select Colours > Colourize.
- Set the Saturation to an intermediate value, such as 128.
- Set the sepia toning by entering a value of between 15-20 in the Hue field.
- Now all you have to do is save the image in JPG format to retain all the image's shades.
Figure 4: The photo appears to be in "period" sepia toning.
