Well, I never thought of looking for Photoshop tools on the actual Adobe site, but what do you know, they have a whole bunch of cool things.
They have a good collection of gradient maps, including a set that mimics selenium, silver, platinum, palladium, silver gel, kallitype, cyanotype and sepia prints.
This here is a platinum print, one of the most expensive and longest-lasting type of print. If it were real that is. A good explanation of the real thing can be found here.
As for the photo itself, this is at Wildwood Park in Harrisburg, PA.

That is a gorgeous photo! Is the apparent dodging in the middle and burning around the edges part of the Photoshop effect, or was it either inherrant in the scene or added after? I might suggest a slight bit more burning around the edges to enhance the darker shadows--unless it's just how my monitor's set that it doesn't seem to have the full depth of black!
In case you haven't heard the terms, dodging is lightening, and burning is darkening. They date to darkroom work in which you would "dodge out" (block the enlarger's light) areas you wanted lighter in the print, and "burn in" (expose to more enlarger light) what you wanted darker.
