Anyone know of an easy way, like load photo and click convert and voila it comes out in color. I have a photo that is about 40 years old and would like it converted to color. If you know of such way in ps cs2 or other program, let me know, or if you want you can do it yourself as well [:)] Thanks.

I only have photoshop at school. I want it here soooo badly though. Don't have the money though. :(

^Yea, I know other way than to do it like that which is time consuming and tedious but should get the job done. Helps if you know what the original colors should be too ;)

You are welcomed to try it, if you color it, the girls there are light skinned Mexicans.

Not me and I have Corel Draw, Paint Shop Pro V8 and Adobe Photoshop. The Problem is you have to choose the colors, every single one of them (16bit that's 16000 colors. I can give it a better appearance though by using a unique tone but the tone will still stay a mono color.

WWS, give me a color pallete to work from and I can try. Im fairly good at this I just need a good idea what skin tons to use and also what colors for the rest of the document. Just find examples on the web or give me some color swatches.
