Filtering the Sepia Tone to the Highlights or Shadows
Filtering the sepia tone so that it's only visible in the highlights or shadows of the image is a very simple process using layer mask.
Step 5
Add a layer mask to the top layer (Layer> Add Layer Mask> Reveal All).
Step 6
Make sure the layer mask is activated. The thumbnail of the layer mask in the layers window should have a white border around it. If it doesn't, click on the thumbnail to activate the layer mask.
Step 7
With the layer mask selected, open the Apply Image tool (Image> Apply Image) and apply these settings:
Layer: Merged
Channel: RGB
Blending: Multiply
Opacity: 100%
Don't press OK yet!
Step 8
In the Apply Image window, make sure that the Preview checkbox is checked. Move the Apply Image window so that you're able to see the image/document. Check and uncheck the Invert checkbox to find the effect you like more. With the Invert checkbox checked, the sepia tone will be applied to the shadows/black areas of the image instead of the highlights/white areas.
