-Start with your base
-Duplicate your base once and set it to multiply at 90% opacity.
-Duplicate your base 2 more times, drag them to the top and set them both to screen. Set the TOP screen layer to 70% opacity
-Add a new and fill it with #C8B3AE and set it to overlay at 30% opacity.
-Time for tricky adjustment layers. I'll explain best I can.
-Make a curves adjustment layer.

-Make ANOTHER selective colour adjustment layer.
NEUTRALS: Cyan: +37
Yellows: -5
set the opacity of that layer to 50%
-Make a new Hue/Saturation adjustment layer. Set saturation at +16
You can stop now but if you want the black and white-ness just simply make a gradient map adjustment layer and use a black and white gradient and leave the blending mode to normal

Tutorial #2 - Max/Liz "never let me go"

-->

-Duplicate your base. You're going to have to do stuff to the base so bare with me.
To the duplicate you just made to to Image>Adjustments>Brightness/Contrast
Brightness: +7
Contrast: +20
hit OK
To the SAME duplicate go to Image>Adjustmenst>Colour Balance or simply press Ctrl+B on your keyboard

MAKE SURE THESE ARE NOT ADJUSTMENT LAYERS!
i hope that bit was easy to undertand.
leave that duplicate to NORMAL.
-Make a new layer and fill it with #E1E1E1 and set it to colour burn
-now, go BACK to your origional base, duplicate it 2 times. Drag them both to the top and set them BOTH to screen
YAY! the hard part is OVER!
-Colour Fill layer #2E5F9D set it to soft light at 70% opacity
-Colour Fill layer #C8B3AE set it to overlay at 32% opacity
-Colour Fill layer #48D285 set it to soft light at 20% opacity
-Colour Fill layer #FCE6BD set it to overlay at 10% opacity
-Colour Fill layer #BCEBFF set it to colour burn at 100% opacity
and voila, add a dusty texture, text and you're done.
