Hey I have a question does anyone know how to convert a greyscale image into a sepia toned image. I have been trying to figure out how to get it, but it is not working, either I just get a grey scale, or I get a purple image. ---

In Photoshop: Image \> Adjustments \> Photo Filter \> Select Sepia. ---

I am talking about an algorithm to create a sepia tone, I am trying to create a photoshop like program, and one of the filters I am trying to get is sepia tone. ---
