Default How To Do This
on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

I don't know if the link will work but I am wondering if anyone can point me in a direction to learn how to process my digital images so that the colors are muted like this photo. I think "muted" is what I am wanting. If it is some other processing term please correct me. Thank You.

looking at that image theres not much desaturation

its most likley they used a lightroom preset or Photoshop "action" for vintage look.

you could do it yourself by messing with the colour channels
