this is what you get

then add a texture by peoplemachines

some more examples.
you can get the first one by starting off with a colored picture and adding soft light layers that are desatured.
the rest use the same technique.

I got bored so I made two very simple tutorials. I'm using Photoshop 7 but should work in other versions as well.

to

1. Resize and crop your picture to 100x100.

2. Layers » New Adjustment Layer » Hue/Saturation. Set the saturation to +45.

3. Layers » New Adjustment Layer » Selective Color.

Red
Cyan: -100
Magenta: 0
Yellow: 0

Yellow
Cyan: -100
Magenta: 0
Yellow: 0

Cyan
Cyan: -100
Magenta: -100
Yellow: -100

Blue
Cyan: -100
Magenta: -100
Yellow: -100

4. Flatten. Filter » Sharpen » Sharpen. Fade sharpen: 20%

It's pretty damn close to the original, don't you think?

to

1. Open up your base, resize, and crop to 100x100.

2. Layers » New Adjustment Layer » Hue/Saturation. Set the saturation to +60.

3. Layers » New Adjustment Layer » Selective Color.

Red
Cyan: -100
Magenta: 0
Yellow: 0

Cyan: +100
Magenta: 0

Cyan

Blue

Yellow: -100

Magenta
Cyan: -100
Magenta: +100
Yellow: 0

White
Cyan: +100
Magenta: 0
Yellow: -100

4. Flatten. Filter » Sharpen » Sharpen. Fade sharpen: 50%

Again, it's not exactly the same but it's close enough :)

Remember, the outcome depends on the original picture. It will not always work. Have fun with this!
