I dont know much about "colorizing", i've tried many times but it never turns out even half way good, they always look like color-blind clowns. If somebody could point me to a really good tutorial or perhaps colorize this picture for me i'd greatly appreciate it.[/img]

If you make your selections very slightly fuzzy (featherd by 1px) you should be able to created the soft edges you want for each area. Then, it's a matter of filling those areas and using various layer blending modes (Hue, Color, Soft Light and Hard Light might be what you are after) until you get the subtle colouration you want.

It won't be a quick job though. I'd love to see the results.

Without searching through the myriad of resources myself you could do worse than www.retouchpro.com (I seem to be alway giving out that url, perhaps they would consider commision?;))
