Colorizing black-and-white comic strips
I have here scans of black-and-white comic pages which I would like to colorize. How can I do this with Aperture? Thanks.

Aperture isn't a 'painting' program. You can manipulate colors and tune particular areas of images but adding arbitrary colors isn't its goal. You need Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, or any of several free or shareware applications, e.g., GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program).

Thanks for your answer. I thought maybe it could be done using the Tint function (brushes!?). Or would I really need transparency and 2 layers?
I haven't tried Aperture yet but I've also read that it can use overlays. So there is really no way with aperture?

Nope. Without third-party plugins Aperture does not work with either layers or transparency. Not sure where you read about overlays.
The Tint adjustment won't add colour: it uses a picture's colour information and alters its phase. Without colour to work with it doesn't do anything at all.
Neil's suggestions are exactly what you should be looking into.
Thanks for your answer. It seems you are all right:
is such a plugin... More expensive than Aperture! 😮
I guess I'll use Photoshop Elements.
Nevertheless I've bought Aperture 🙂 now for many other things...
Reports from users of the OnOne beta were that it was more reflected smoke than anything substantial. Proceed with skepticism.
