i saw how to make a photo black and white. i prefer options that other programs have given me on which black and white photo i can choose. anyway, how do you make photos sepia colored? or any other solid color?

One way to do this is to go to the "Effects" tool in the tool bar, then select "Color Filter", and then select "Dye". You can fool around with recoloring your picture with sepia-like brown choices until you get the look you want.

Sorry - meant to mention that you would do this from the Magix Xtreme Photo Designer tool which you can launch from within the Photostory when you ask to edit the photo.

Also to make a photo black and white, launch Photo Designer, then go to "Effects", "Color Filter" and then select "Hue/Saturation/Brightness". This allows you to remove the color by moving the bars around for each of those elements.

This problem appeared out of the blue with me. All videos had been turned to sepia. Since it was not specific to the individual projects, it was an overall program setting. The solution was to:

File / Settings/ Reset Program Settings to defaults

It fixed the problem without disturbing the individual projects. Since I have MEP 2017, I apparently do not have the controls to set the sepia toning. They make one version and just unlick features, which means that a feature can become enabled by accident, and then can not be reset.

@clement5

Did you notice you had posted to a thread which is nearly 9 years old and about a very old version of Photo and Graphic Designer so nothing to do with MEP?

Please do not resurrect such old threads, especially with information that is based on your experiences with a different program to the one the OP was asking for help with.
