4. Choose Sepia Preset.
Click on the Sepia filter located in a drop-down menu at the top of the Photo Filter adjustment layer panel. You can adjust the Density slider to 100%.
Apply the Sepia Filter.

5. Convert Background's layer into a Smart Object.
Select the Background layer on the Layers Panel and then click Layer> Smart Objects> Convert to Smart Object.
Convert the Background layer into a Smart Object.

6. Add Vignette.
Select the Background layer. Go to Filter>Lens Correction (Shift+Ctrl+R). In the Lens Correction dialog box, click the Custom tab. Drag the Vignette Amount slider to the left and the Vignette Midpoint slider to the left or right. Click OK.
Add vignette.

7. Save document.
Choose File>Save (Ctrl+S). Navigate to the folder where you want to store the file. Type a name in the File Name text box and leave the default Photoshop (*.PSD;*.PDD) format. Click Save to store the image.

Once you have finished, you will probably also want to use File>Save As (Shift+Ctrl+S) to export the image in a more widely used format, such as JPEG, PNG, TIFF, etc.

That's all there is to it! And here is the result: Create Sepia Image in Photoshop.
