Sepia Modifier

Sepia applies a warm, brownish color tint to the image, emulating the look of vintage photographs or old film prints. It can be used to create nostalgic, cinematic, or stylized color grades that mimic chemical sepia toning processes used in traditional photography.

Contrast

Adjusts the tonal contrast of the sepia effect. Higher values produce deeper shadows and brighter highlights, enhancing the image’s dynamic range.

Tone

Controls the hue of the sepia tint. Lower values shift the tone toward reddish-brown, while higher values create a more yellow or golden sepia appearance.

Saturation

Controls the intensity of the sepia color. A value of 0 results in a purely monochrome look, while higher values yield a richer, more pronounced color tint.
