Hey guys, long time no see.
There's a color scheme I see a lot in fashion shoots and magazines, that gives a really cool tannish/desaturated tone that I love. Example below:

Does anyone know how to achieve this look in photoshop? Thanks!

Yeah, it's called "desaturation"...

| Is it desaturation and then a sepia on everything but the sky? |

Well it's not just desaturation, this is apparent if you ever try to mimic the effect by dragging down the saturation slider. And it's not quite sepia, if you look at her dress, the tiger's tongue, or her hair. There's still other color there (maybe the sepia filter is semi-transparent)...Anyone else want to take a stab at it?

Actually you can get pretty close by desaturating and shifting the master color, then bumping up specific colors a bit to make them pop a tad out...

you can get similar to this by adding a 'solid color' adjustment layer set to a brown/beige shade, setting the blending mode to 'color' and having the opacity at about 18%.
Also, you can set a hue/sat layer to colorize at about hue- 45 and sat - 25, set that to 'color' and do the same thing.
You may want to apply a curves layer afterward though to balance out the contrast again and set that to 'luminosity' blending mode. |

Ha! I figured it out! Shift white balance towards orange, THEN desaturate. Used it on this shot:
