Hi Duke-it

the best way may be to post a link to the image

Quite a lot of respondents love a chance to show creative approaches

The trouble is advice on a theme can only be general whereas advice on an image is usually very specific

Play with curves.

In the curves dialouge box select RED then play with the curve, try S shapes

try it in colour then try it with the image desaturated.

then try duplicating the layer and playing with colour modes on the top layer

Finaly play with opacity changes.

Turn it into sepia tone (make it first grayscale, then back to RGB, then variations, more yellow, more red).

Play with contrast

Add some noise

An easy way= on the menu bar- image/adjustments/hue-saturation, click the colorize box in the bottom right hand corner and adjust the sliders accordingly to suit.
Another way is, go to
http://thepluginsite.com/products/photowiz/photofreebies/ go to the download section and download the colorwasher, focalblade and photofreebies. It's what I use and works awesome.

Scan a crumpled piece of paper and blend it or part of it into the photo. Scan a really old black and white photo when Kodak used to put a date in the white border at the bottom and "replace' the contents with your altered photo.

Print it with your inject, leave it on your dashboard for a week, give it to some 2d graders to take to school for "show and tell". That should do

For CS at least in the "image effects" part of the preset Actions there are "Aged Photo" and two versions of "Sepia Toning".
