Vintage Wash Effect

So we're going to be achieving the transition below in Photoshop Elements 10. If you want to use the same photo as me click here [x].

1.  De-saturating:
a. Go to Layer - New Fill Layer - Color. Type in #000000 (black) for the color. Click OK.
b. Set the blend mode of this layer to 'Color' and the opacity to 70%
2. Vintage Look:
a. Go to Layer - New Fill Layer - Color. Type in #075349 (teal) for the color. Click OK.
b. Set the blend mode of this layer to 'Exclusion' and the opacity to '30%'.
3.  Blue Wash:
Go to Layer - New Fill Layer - Color. Type in #00e3ff (bright blue) for the color.
b. Set the blend mode of this layer to 'Soft Light' and the opacity to '75%'.
4. Brightening:
a. Go to Layer - New Adjustment Layer - Levels. Set the input levels to '0', '1.00', and '230'.
5. Blowing It Out:
a. Click on the background layer which should be your original photograph. Duplicate this layer by pressing Ctrl+J on your keyboard and drag the duplicated layer to the top of the layer stack.
b. Set the blend mode of the duplicated layer to 'Screen'.
6. Warming Filter:
a. Go to Layer - New Adjustment Layer - Photo Filter. Use the default filter (i.e. Warming Filter (85)) and set the density to 50%. Make sure 'Preserve Luminosity' is checked.

That was it! :) It's a short, sweet effect, but it really does look quite nice. Especially on certain photos.
