## Return Value

Return Value The modified image.

## Discussion

Discussion This method applies the sepia tone filter to an image. The effect maps the colors of the inputImage to various shades of brown. The sepia tone filter uses the following property: The following code creates a filter that results in the input image transforming to a brown hue: func sepiaTone(inputImage: CIImage ) -> CIImage {     let sepiaToneFilter = CIFilter.sepiaTone()     sepiaToneFilter.inputImage = inputImage     sepiaToneFilter.intensity = 1     return sepiaToneFilter.outputImage! }
