Image warming and cooling filters can be either of the glass/plastic type that go in front of the lens of your camera, or these effects can be simulated in software.

The software filters can be built in to Photoshop, or can be purchased as part of any of several commercial add-on packages, e.g., Tiffen DFX, Nik Color Efx Pro, etc.

Even excluding the add-on's, just within Photoshop itself, there are a huge number of different ways to get warming and cooling effects using Photoshop's native tools. These have been available in older versions of PS for as far back as I can remember (eg, around 1996).

Also, as far as I can recall, the only place where they are explicitly called by these names in PS is as a "Photo Filter" adjustment layer -- they are two of the options.

HTH,

Tom M
