Not quite sure whether there should be some text with this? I'm aware of Google Earth of course, I need to convert some historic aerial photos for use as evidence in a legal issue (past use of a farm track). These are from the French Government website which nis very good. Has over 20,000 images starting from 1919. Most of those I am using are in .JP2 (JPEG2000) format so not directly usable in PSE, I open them in IRFANVIEW to crop and then save as TIFs. and increase resolution with Photozoom. Any suggestions for a better way to do it are welcome....!

Thank you! Works to a reasonable degree for what I want, but any other suggestions welcome.

Since you haven't told us what you find lacking in the Colorize Photo tool, the only other suggestion I have is to use the Adjust Hue/Saturation tool either from the Enhance>Adjust Color menu, or as an Adjustment layer. These will give you more customization options:

Thanks Greg, another very useful suggestion. At the moment I don't really need to do anything much more than the colorise provides, it is just to provide some illustrations in a legal document that differentiate foliage from red tile roofs and types of ground. Doesn't justify a huge amount of effort given the likely audience, to be honest, so together your suggetsions cover the objective! I just wonderd if others specialising in either infra-red or aerial photgraphy from the pre-digital age (these are from the 80s and 90s) had developed an off-the-shelf solution.
Thanks again .

This jpg2000 plugin should work in photoshop elements.
You want to use the 64 bit version.
