In this tutorial I'll show you how to add a sepia effect to just the shadow areas on an image. I began with the photo at left.
	Duplicate the current layer (Ctrl+J)
	With the top layer selected, use the Hue/Saturation tool (Ctrl+U) to apply the following properties: Colorize: Checked Hue: 25 Saturation: 25 Lightness: 0
	Use the Variations filter (Image > Adjustments > Variations) to adjust the tone of the sepia.
	Add a layer mask to the current layer (Layer > Add Layer Mask > Reveal All).
	With the layer mask selected, use the Apply Image tool (Image > Apply Image) to apply the following properties: Layer: Background Channel: RGB Invert: Checked Blending: Normal Opacity: 100%
	Use the Brightness/Contrast tool (Image > Adjustments > Brightness/Contrast) to tweak the visiblity of the sepia effect.
	The final effect is shown at left.
