Now here's a colorizing plugin I'll have to file away in my "bookmark for that day you might have money to spend on this" folder: AKVIS Coloriage 2.0. This handy plugin for Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Photo-Paint, Paint Shop Pro and more, makes mince meat out of adding color and color schemes to everything from B&W photos to hand sketches (pictured) and even interior/exterior designs. From the screenshots it looks like Coloriage offers a simple set of drawing and selecting tools to help delineate the areas of your image you'd like the plugin to work its magic on.
Version 2.0 is the first version to offer both Windows and OS X support. A 10-day demo is available, while a "home" version will cost $97 and a "business" version will run $250.
