very cool of you to share that Sergio.... does that mean you are on to something else?
While I'd agree that Sergio's processing is fairly distinctive... that's it's just the icing on the cake. I suspect that may be one of the reasons behind sharing... nothing to worry about really.
Besides LR you can play with your gamma's in Photoshop until it's washed out then bring your blacks up. Layer it with a emerald or brown filter then you'll get that look easy.

The selective color of 2012 has begun.
We all know that the washed-out, cross-processed, blown-highlight, compressed-contrast, muted-color and film looks will all be corny, cheesy, and dated in about 10-15 years, just like double exposures and white vignettes.
1. Sergio divulged some form of hint to this style of processing; although, I do not believe this is what he does to achieve his actual results.
2. Tony hasn't come along to chastise everyone.

thats what people are saying last 50 years that film look will be dated. I give it another 50, or more, depending how fast will cameras evolve.
You know, in good old days you got lens not because it got cool reviews, but because it did something you wanted. You kept one 50mm for landscapes, one for portraits, one for hazed look. Now, you all do it in photoshop because lenses are almost surgically precise and have no personality anymore.

But it sells today
Hasn't the vintage look that was all the rage last year pretty much gone out of fashion already?
That trend that everyone was doing really only lasted about a year.

be cheesy.. be different. add nasty vignettes.. flatten your image. make it pop off the screen. make every image the same.. different. even if people tell you it sucks do it. this market is one of differentiation and they don't know what they want till you give it to them. you just don't wanna be the same.
