Answer

A Curves adjustment layer gives you ultimate flexibility.

Edit each channel individually:

  • Red: raise the bottom left point.

  • Green: make a new point in the center and drop it slightly.

  • Blue: raise the bottom left point and lower the top right point, then make a new point at the center and drop it slightly.

Experiment with the opacity of the adjustment layer to vary the intensity of the effect.
