Sepia is one of the effects readily produced within digital cameras as well as post editing software, yet it is one I rarely resort to because it signifies vintage photography and hence aged subjects seem best.

“Sepia pigment was originally made from sepia cuttlefish, and used to treat photographs. Sepia-treated prints are more durable and designed to last longer. During the developing of the print, sepia pigment would be added and it would turn any remaining silver in the print into a sulfide” ourpastimes
And here’s one I made from a B&W image using layers etc in Photoshop – just add tint, noise and vignette. No cuttlefish.
