Colouring black and white images

Hello
Can anyone help me?

I have some black and white shots (photoshop files) that I'd really like the colour version for. Can anyone advise me how best I can do this or whether it is even possible?

The photographs were taken in colour, converted to black and white but the originals were not saved!

Thanks in advance
missk

    You can use Hue and Saturation and Masking in Photoshop to do this but it would be a huge hassle and wouldn't look true to life. If you really need the colour images then either try and retrieve the originals from the memory card or your hard drive, or retake the shots.

    I'm afraid once the colour information has been discarded you can't get it back.
