Sepia Toned
Sepia Toned – Sepia is a reddish-brown color, named after the rich brown pigment derived from the ink sac of the common cuttlefish Sepia.
I like to use the sepia finish on some of my flower or insect photos, so I had to look up what the word actually means and surprised myself finding the answer.
Fun Facts
What is a cuttlefish you might ask 🙂 – Cuttlefish ink was formerly an important dye, called sepia. That is where the name of this color comes from. I did not know that myself.
I like how the white on the tip of the wings of this butterfly did not change much when changing this photo to sepia tones.

Good information
Thank you 😊
That’s amazing information Sandra.
It is something how they come up with things.
Had no idea the color came from a cuttlefish. Wow.
Old photos from the turn of the century (19th) had much of that tint. I wonder if it was because of the fish or just age.
I think they actually made photos back then in that color, their first attempt to add a little color instead of just black and white. But I don’t know how they came up with it then, could be because of that fish.
Interesting…
Only a word: wonder!
