Digital Lomography
I’ve found an article which dissects the lomo effect and analyses exactly how the colour casts, contrast and just plain lomoness is produced. Thanks to Wolf Schweitzer for this interesting write up and of course not to forget he made some special Photoshop actions and image colour settings!
I haven’t tried these yet, but can’t wait to try them out and will update when I do. 
Update: I’ve tried the actions on a number of photos. It never performs the same edit on any one photo. And it provides ways to distort photos for that authentic ‘cheap lens’ lomo look. It really gives photo’s a quality I hadn’t seen since the first lomo actions. Again you have to exeriment as it won’t make all your photo’s look great.

What you need to do, is really look at the scene, and later your photo, and think for yourself: What do I want the photo to look like?
Then you need to learn what action, what menu, what feature in Photoshop does what, and how you can use it in order to achieve your idea.
My photoshop actions just offer suggestions. The actions can be stopped at each single dialog box, and that is a great feature. Some digital cameras go a certain way towards offering Lomo-type images already (through cheap optics, mostly..) so you don’t have to give these the full 100% Lomo rub.

Thanks. The actions were helpful cause they added that extra bit of customiseability. Hmm I should probably create some actions for the regular edits I do.

[…] What follows below was originally on {http://www.redscreen.net/photolog/} As the site seems down, I decided to post the info, as it might be of interest to others. Please not that the images are presented at the size of 110×83 (from google) and not the original 300×226 as I did not get the chance to save them. Visit kottke.org for example photos. Also see this post regarding more advanced actions which subtly change certain parts of the picture, adds blur, noise and distortion. […]
