Seaside,
Thank you for taking time to research and post this link. For those of us who consider ourselves *still learning*, it’s a valuable how to.
Just as an aside, tho somewhat related. Having used many different apps of the years – Corel, Adobe Suite, MSOffice, Dreamweaver, etc., one of the most frustrating things I find is that even as many techniques are the same, you have to learn a new vocabulary for each app. As a speaker of several languages myself, I know how difficult and time consuming it is to break the barrier of a new language by learning all the different ways you can say something. Subtle idioms, figures of speech, slang, that sort of thing.
For example, I recently wanted to know how to take a square object (actually it’s a tooth), and round off the corners. Logically, you would think you could search the PS index by asking "how to I round off a corner". Nope, it’s modify…smooth. How did I learn this? I had to ask what such a process was called in PS. Fortunately, not only did I receive several answers, but was offered links to even better information.
I think that most of us who are seekers really aren’t looking for a "here’s how ya do it" (tho it is nice when someone does – I certainly have written my share of step by step), as much as we are asking for a road map. There are, after all, many paths to the top of the mountain.
Thank you again, Seaside. I certainly appreciated your efforts.
Remain well.

why does some know it all always tell newbies not to ask questions here? Is this not what the group is for? Or am I confused?

Is there a simple way to apply a sepia tone to a b&w image? If so,
how?
There’s this thing called a search engine…. perhaps you’ve heard of them?
Searched the web for photoshop sepia tutorial.
Results 1 – 100 of about 3,760

As far as I can see they are not know it alls – all they actually know is how to type TRY GOOGLE and get app 3760 hits. A real know it all would be able to point you directly to a page\site\author that would succinctly explain the alternatives, issues and process
say for example
http://www.kodak.com/US/en/digital/dlc/techniques/archive/se pia.jhtml and I don’t suggest that this is the best as I really do not know it all
