Printing old photos

I have scanned an old sepia photo into my computer with a view to producing some copies.
I have the "my pictures" facility on Micronet Internet Explorer and I also have Picasa 2.
Is there anyway that I can reproduce this picture in sepia shades rather than a lovely shade of green?
Any help would be gratefully received.

There is a free program called the Gimp that a lot of AB users seem to like. If you Google 'Gimp Sepia' you get lots of help - especially this one:-

Many thanks wideboy. At first look seems a bit complicated, but shall take a deep breath and read it slowly and see if I can handle it.
Thanks again.

Gimp is an excellent free image editor, pretty much on a par with photoshop but for free.

However the tutorial wideboy suggested is for gimp1 and the current version is 2 which is very diferent so you will find things are not where they say they are in the tutorial.

it's still worth getting though and having a play about with.
