Hue/Sat adjusment layer, click colorize, put the hue around 40 (give or take a few), and the sat around 20 (give or take).

Arty, just grab a paint brush, preferably a unique one, and paint your scratches on duplicate of your original layer. Fade the opacity. Or just make a print and step on it a few dozen times, then scan it back in

Some of the things we do for our art...
Don't forget to set a coffee mug on it to get the circular coffee stain.

Wow that doesn't work for me at all, even if I mess w/ it. Mine come out green. lol. I'll have to spend more time playing w/ it. What does the hue do exactly anyway? I can see the color dial changing but can't figure out what it's doing.

Jess, are you checking "colorize" ? in the hue/sat dialogue? I bet not.
The original instructions given said to use a hue/sat adjustment layer, but the only place I have an option to click "colorize" is by using the hue/sat option under image>adjustments.
Perhaps Jess has encountered the same obstacle with the adjustment layer, and needs to use the image>adjustments>hue/saturation dialog box (Ctrl/Cmd+U).

First of all, what version(s) of photoshop are you all using? I'm using 7.0, and the same instructions will work for 6 I believe, and also for CS for sure.
There is a colorize box no matter how you get to hue/sat. Older versions of PS don't have adjustment layers, so your only option would be ctrl-U, or image/adjustments/hue-sat. The adjustment layer is exactly the same as going through the menu, only it creates the effect on its' own layer, so it can be edited repeatedly.

I am using 7.0 as well.
If I use Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Hue/Sat, I don't get a little box to click for "colorize." I can only find that little box in Image>Adjustments>Hue/Saturation.
I was just offering an observation that might help those who cannot seem to make it work in a new adjustment layer. That's all.

I have 7.0, and colorize is always there. I can't understand why you aren't seeing it.
I always start my adjusment layers from the little button on the layers pallete, but regardless of how I start one, colorize is always there.

Damn, that's beautiful. I missed the colorize step. I apologize for not following the directions properly. That's really great. I have to find somewhere to make a note of that. Thanx so much. 
BTW I run on PSP, still has the colorize option. I've found I can follow any PS tutorial. It's funny cause I originally went w/ PSP because it was more intuitive and I couldn't figure out PS, but now that I'm around so many ppl w/ PS and I can follow the same directions in my program, I wonder if I wasn't mistaken. My version of PS is ancient but maybe I should re-instal and take a look at it again.
And just for fun, here's that toolbox in PSP, note the color wheel... in case that comment above confused anyone
They're the same, just arranged differently.

That's crazy, DM.
Oh, well...at least we've all got it figured out.
And it's a beautiful way to sepia tone a pic, not to mention WAY easier than what I was trying before.
Thanks for the great tip.

Edit: When I open the adjustment layer with the button on the layers palette, I get the dialog box w/ the colorize option. I just don't get it when I do it the long way w/ Layers menu up top. Weird, huh? Again, great tip.
