Hello people, is there any way to convert a black and white picture to full color? The only way I can imagine would be to somehow convert it from grayscale to "redscale" (shades of red), then to "greenscale", then to "bluescale", and then somehow combine these 3 versions to make a colored version of the original photo.

As you can probably tell, I don't really know what I'm talking about, so I don't know if that's even possible. Is it? If so, what program would I use and how? I'm hoping there are some photoshop gurus here that could answer my question. Thanks!
 
convert grayscale to cmyk - use channel mixer to adjust selected areas such as skin and clothes etc.
 
You could handcolor it. Otherwise you're going to have a lot of work cut out for you. :)

(there's a funny joke in there........)
