For those of us without photoshop, please detail the steps involved so we can duplicate them on other software.
As a comment on the example, the procedure seems to lose quite a bit of hilight details.

Arkku: I'll post the steps soon, it's quite involved to explain.
I'll create a step by step procedure and append it to the main post.
The example isn't the greatest, I'll try to get another image with people in it. Hoping people will post examples.

what exactly do you do?
change the hues and saturation and sharpness?
i have a picture editor i'd like to stick to since my computer cant handle much else.

I experimented a bit with simplifying the steps, and had some pretty good results with blending a sepia-colorized (colorize to about hue 40, saturation 40) version of the image over the original in overlay mode. Adjusting lightness and/or levels on either the overlay or the background makes for the faded effect, but I couldn't get a single value working for all examples posted here, though I could get very close to the end result of each by tweaking the values individually.

unrufFABle:
Paint.NET should work on your machine. Your machine can't be any slower than mine. (450Mhz, 512Mb RAM, WinXP)
Essentially you just need to take your image, add saturation and contrast. Then duplicate the layer, make it sepia and set opacity to about 50-75%. On the photoshop action, it actually adds center light gradient, vingetting, and cross processed effect before sepia layer is applied.
All in all it's the Lomo Effect + Cross Processing Effect + Desaturation using a Sepia layer.

I've just spent ages reading through this group - such talent and willingness to share - feel good group! I'm really interested in this vintage effect however, at present I only have elements 2 (soon upgrading to elements 5 courtesy of Open University course!) - can anyone tell me how to achieve this without curves as this seems to be the major bit I need but don't have!! Many thanks

This is frickin awesome dude. The result by just running the action doesnt work best for me, but since you can go in and modify all opacities etc this really kicks ass anyways. (and works for pretty much all pics)

I'd be curious to know if anyone has had any success porting this to the GIMP, or other image editors in that vein. I run OS X, and the Paint.NET results don't net nearly the same results in other progs.
Thanks!

I love this effect. Lately I've been consumed with destructing my very pristine (but rather sterile) DSLR images to emulate the effect of an old film camera. Thanks so much for sharing - this action makes it so much easier, and the results are incredible.

You need to locate it on your hard drive within Photoshop. Then you go to actions and press play. Then something like this occurs:
