Whenever i see edited photos on the internet, i always think to myself that they take a lot of effort and time. Boy, was i wrong! They're fairly easy to do and satisfying as well since you don't have to 'cheat' to make your photos look great.:)
For the photo above, i used Paint.NET. It's free, and has the same basic capabilities of Photoshop minus the bulk. You can download the software here.
Open up the image like so, and duplicate the layer in Layers>Duplicate Layer. Next, go to Adjustments>Brightness/Contrast and change the Brightness to 25 or so.
Next adjust the Saturation in Adjustments>Hue/Saturation. Pick the shade you want by playing with the values, for this picture i adjusted the Saturation to 90 for that slightly faded look.
For the last part, add a new Layer on the Layers tab. Select the paint bucket icon on the Tools and pick a color from the shade of orange or pink and fill the picture with that color.
Next, go to Layer>Layer Properties and adjust the opacity to the right amount of color.
And voila! You're done.:)
