The images are real.
The colours are added in after or else you wouldn't be able to see shit.
It's called colourmapping, and it's not done in Photoshop. Here's how it works:
1. The pixels in the image all have some level of black, from 0 to 100%. (it's actually stored in a different way, but you get the idea).
2. For each level, it passes through a mapping matrix and is transformed to RGB or CYMK colour.
3. Certain parts of the photo can be colourmapped separately.
