The following photoshop tutorial was done by Matt Edmundson. It’s a cool but easy way to add color to a black and white photo. In this tutorial, the photo was originally color and then converted to black and white. Enjoy!

Priceless
by Robert K. Wittman & John Shiffman
Softcover, 336pp
Barnes & Noble – $12.99
Brief Synopsis –"The Wall Street Journal called him “a living legend.” The London Times dubbed him “the most famous art detective in the world.”
In Priceless, Robert K. Wittman, the founder of the FBI’s Art Crime Team, pulls back the curtain on his remarkable career for the first time, offering a real-life international thriller.
Rising from humble roots as the son of an antique dealer, Wittman built a twenty-year career that was nothing short of extraordinary. He went undercover, usually unarmed, to catch art thieves, scammers, and black market traders in Paris and Philadelphia, Rio and Santa Fe, Miami and Madrid. By the FBI’s accounting, Wittman saved hundreds of millions of dollars worth of art and antiquities."

A much faster way to achieve this effect on this particular picture would be to use Select->Color Range on that bright red color.
Given that is the only pure red in the image, it will make a selection around that red color, then you simply add a mask.
No manual brushing or painting, as in this tutorial.
The down fall is if there was another bright red color, you would have to paint out what you don’t want (as in this video).
However in this specific case it could be done in seconds without manual brushing.

That’s true. But if you wanted to pop several different colors, say the red of the roses and the green of the stems, then I think this tutorial would be the way to go.

Indeed it would be.
