There are many ways to accomplish this. Here is my favorite:
Open a blank layer above the photo to be colorized.
Choose a bright version of the color to be added.
Paint over the area to be colorized.
Switch the new layer's blending mode to Color, and turn down the opacity until it looks like what you want.Learn by teaching

Since I'm not very good at choosing colors, here's an additional step that I've found simplifies making adjustments w/o having to repaint: Add a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer above the layer where you painted the eye color.
* Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Hue Saturation
* Be sure the "Group with previous" checkbox is checked
Adjust the sliders in the Hue/Sat dialog to vary the characteristics of the new eye color.

If necessary, you can use Danny's technique to correct the colour...
If you paint over skin etc., just use the Eraser Tool to correct your mistake ....
Have fun ...

Don't ask me why I think of these things, I simply can't not think of them. But I got to wondering, what combination of adjustment layers would desaturate an entire image except for a single selected color (or range of color)?
A Hue/Sat adjustment layer can be set to desaturate just reds,...08-28-2005, 04:02 PM -
I am trying to get a black and white head shot into color! I have no idea how to do this without messing up the photo. I love the way it is but B&W photos are not really in like color are. This is for a theatrical audition so its very important to me!
Thank you,
