Colouring black and white

[simon.deighton]

Whats the best way to colourize black and white photos?

Would you rcommend manualy in photoshop with layers or are there any great programs out there, maybe even a photoshop extension?

Are you doing somethign along the lines of masking out the area then creating the solid colour layer above then changeing the blend mode?
