If I want to turn my image to sepia, what panel can I use to search for this?

To turn an image into sepia in Adobe After Effects, the Effects and Presets panel is the most appropriate choice. This panel provides a comprehensive library of effects that can be applied to layers in your composition. Within this library, you can easily search for and locate the sepia effect or any related color effects that can create a sepia tone.

When you access the Effects and Presets panel, you can simply type "sepia" in the search bar, and it will bring up relevant effects, making the application process straightforward. Once you select the desired effect, you can then apply it directly to your image layer.

The other options, while relevant to various aspects of color and effects management in After Effects, do not specifically offer the same breadth of effects and presets for color grading like the Effects and Presets panel does. Color Match is more tailored to matching and adjusting color palettes between clips, Adjustment Effects relates to broader adjustments without specifically focusing on sepia tones, and Style Effects emphasizes thematic effects rather than color grading. Therefore, for applying a sepia effect specifically, the Effects and Presets panel is the ideal choice.
