Thank you for all of the amazing names for this action. I loved so many and it was impossible picking one, so I finally just "grabbed" one and went with it. :-) CoffeeShop Vintage Blush, like most of my actions, is adjustable and runs in both Photoshop and Photoshop Elements. Vintage Blush adds a pinkish tone and haze to your image while muting the original colors.

Here are the action steps so you can duplicate the result on your own. Remember, you can adjust the blending modes and their opacity's to taste. The ones I have in the action are just starting points.
1. Pink Tone layer: Add a solid color fill layer with #eeb395 (a pinkish color) and put that layer into Overlay blending mode, 100% opacity.
2. Pink Haze layer: Add a solid color fill layer as above (#eeb395) and put that layer in Screen blending mode, 50% opacity.
3. Color Mute layer: Click on your foreground color swatch and change it to #eeb395and make the background swatch white. Add a Gradient Map adjustment layer with pink to white and put that layer in Color blending mode, 50% opacity.
Easy! And don't forget you can play with the blending modes, opacity's, and even the color fills. And each layer has a layer mask if you want to paint out part of the effect on a layer. If you don't know how to use layer masks please read this tutorial.

Someone commented previously that this would be an excellent base action when you want to add a texture to your image. I thought that was a great idea so I played around and you can see my results below.
I used SkeletalMess's free texture Painterly Effect 2 on the image above, AFTER running CoffeeShop Vintage Rose. I dragged the texture just above my background so the colors would be tinted pink from the upper layers. I put this layer in Vivid Light blending mode, 100%. Then I copied this layer and put the copy in Soft Light blending mode, 100%. Now it looks like a soft vintage painting.
