Sepia (cephalopod)
''Sepia'' is a genus of cuttlefish in the family (biology), family Sepiidae encompassing some of the best known and most common species. The cuttlebone is ellipsoid in shape. The name of the genus is the Latinised form of the Ancient Greek (''sēpía'') "cuttlefish". Anatomy All members of ''Sepia'' possess Cephalopod limb, eight arms and two tentacles. Tentacles are retractable limbs used to target and latch onto prey, whereas arms are used for handling prey and producing patterns of light and dark to distract prey. Once a prey item has been caught, the tentacles detach from it and have no other function. The tentacles reside in sheaths that run below the eyes and behind the head, into the visceral mass, where they are reserved as coiled, spring-loaded appendages, waiting to be ejected towards a food target. Classification A 2023 paper extensively revised the composition of genus ''Sepia''; As a consequence, many species have been split out of genus ''Sepia'', assigned to revi ...

Sepia is a reddish-brown color, named after the rich brown pigment derived from the ink sac of the common cuttlefish '' Sepia''. The word ''sepia'' is the Latinized form of the Ancient Greek words , , cuttlefish. In the visual arts Sepia ink was commonly used for writing in Greco-Roman civilization.

Sepia Tone
In photography, toning is a method of altering the color of black-and-white photographs. In analog photography, it is a chemical process carried out on metal salt-based prints, such as silver prints, iron-based prints ( cyanotype or Van Dyke brown), or platinum or palladium prints. This darkroom process cannot be performed with a color photograph. The effects of this process can be emulated with software in digital photography. Sepia is considered a form of black-and-white or monochrome photography. Chemical toning Most toners work by replacing the metallic silver in the emulsion with a silver compound, such as silver sulfide (Ag2S) in the case of sepia toning. The compound may be more stable than metallic silver and may also have a different color or tone. Different toning processes give different colors to the final print. In some cases, the printer may choose to tone some parts of a print more than others. Toner also can increase the range of shades visible in a print ...
