Default How do I do sepia filter in Photoshop Elements?

I can find convert to BW - but not sure about sepia. If anyone could shed some light I'd be very grateful

Should be something under Filters or under Image > Adjustments > photo filter. Probably the latter, if I remember correctly.

Push comes to shove: make a new layer on top of your BW image, fill it with a shade of brown, adjust opacity/blending mode.

go to filter - adjustments - photo filter, click on the arrow and you'll see Sepia listed there.

another method (even better)
is choose a brown colour on your colour pallette, and a black as the secondary colour,
then ctrl+J to copy your layer

then click on the half black/white circle and it will drop down some options.
click on "Gradient map" and a screen wil pop up with a brown to black colour gradient
click on it, then use the arrows under the gradient to adjust the contrast and black to brown fill.

it gets WAY better results.

Easiest way for me is to create a hue saturation adjustment layer, check the colorize (colourise!) option. Then select a hue of 40 and adjust saturation to taste (prob arround 25).

Easy!
