Aqua-Soft ForumsI'm not much on coloring black and white photos, but I saw the thread on coloring them, so I was inspired. I did this in Photoshop CS and it took a loong time. I hope you like it:

Colored Monroe
wow if you just saw it for like 3 secs and didn't look at the face I'd think it was real - I looked at the B&W face and even that looked kind of messed up cause of the shadows but that looks really good - can you include where you saw the tutorial?
I didn't use a tutorial... sorry
But I used "Overlay" layers with 49% opacity
(But yeah, I need to fix the face and hair)
woops sorry misread that =) yea if you can fix that I bet it'd fool a few people
Impressive--you did quite well on the skin tones. My only problem is with the facial area--specifically, her eyes. They seem to be missing something and it brings the entire picture down. They just look kind of hooded--I'm not sure how the color could affect that, but there you go.
Do you see it, or is it just me?
Nice job, though!

have you heard of recolored? http://www.recolored.com/It could do that job in 10 minutes
haha I hope he didn't spend as long as he made it out to seem on monroe after seeing this but either way he did a badass job on her without recolored

Yeah, and I've used recolored, but I don't like it.
I like having more control over what I'm doing, other then just having some app do it for me, or else it's not your work. It's the app's.
@NC-
I see it too... and I think I've fixed it.
-colored photo updated
yea, i have recolor, its pretty usefull and any ameture can do it(n one here tho 
)
And besides, I hate how long it takes to render the image colored, and then you have to fix any minor mistakes there are.
Bottom line:
Photoshop is just plain better.
