I'd say that it's right up there with cat photos. Seriously a lot of the same arguments against coloring photos could be made against photos as art, rather than painting. Did Dylan get upset when the Byrds or Hendrix did better versions of his songs? If someone colorized my van when it was parked on the street I'd be upset. If someone started with one of my photos for their own artwork I'd be flattered. If they went and sold it, I would want a cut of the action.
