I went to Filters> Adjustments> Photo Filters and selected Sepia. I then adjusted the density and got this vintage look:

You have the option of other color filter and you can use pink, blue or green to make your photo look like an aged color photo. Gotta love the retro look.
It also works well on B&W images- I converted this one to B&W but it was too harsh. Adding the sepia filter softened it and made it look old-timey without being too yellow. It really looks like the old photos that my grandma has. I love the tones in this image:

P.S. I get a big kick out of instances where technology is used to make something look or sound old school- it's such an oxymoron. Like the examples above, or when Photoshop is used to make "Polaroids" or add scratches, etc. Or when I hear people's ringtones- that are of an old timey phone that actually rings! "BRIIING! BRIING!!!" Stuff like that cracks me up.
