This is the effect you sometimes see on black and white posters of children with that slight touch of color. It's a pretty easy effect and it can be very beautiful for portraits of children or weddings.
Here is a great little effect that adds a whole lot of "mood" to an image by softening and increasing contrast and also features a vignette around the focal point of your choosing.
