Converting an image to Sepia

I have Elements 12.

I need a step by step idiot guide to tell me how to convert a JPeg image from colour to sepia.

Treat me as a total beginner please!

    In photoshop elements 12 there are several other ways in Expert mode to get Sepia:

     

    1. Window>Effects>Effects>Monotone Color>Tint Sepia

     

     

    2. Window>Effects>Styles>Photographic Effects>Sepia Tone

     

     

    3. Window>Actions>Special Effects>Sepia Toning

      Another way in the expert mode is to go to Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Hue/Saturation, then in the Hue/Saturation dialog click Colorize and set the Hue to 35 and Saturation to 25

      1. Open your picture file

      2. Go to Filter menu>Adjustments>Photo Filter, and in the drop-down select "Sepia" Click on filter and adjust the intensity slider. Ok it.

      3. Note the other filter options that are available!

        Further to above, you can also try a gradient with the Gradient tool.

        1. Open your picture file. This will be the Background layer as seen in the Layers palette

        2. Opne a blank layer above this - Layer 1

        3. With Layer 1 active, access the Gradient tool. In my PSE2024 version of the software, there is an orange-yellow-orange gradient. I selected this as a linear gradient. Hold down the shift key and "draw" the gradient from south to north in the work area.

        4. Adjust the opacity of Layer 1 in the layers palette to suit.
