As a rough guide this is what I do, mind you Paul and Peter probably do things differently and better.
The first thing(using photoshop) is to go to the "Image" drop down menu select "Mode" and make sure you check "RGB Colour" not Greyscale.
Then try these rough settings in colour balance....
Highlights
Red +30
Green -20
Blue -40
Midtones
Red +20
Green +0
Blue -60
Shadows
Red +50
Green +10
Blue -100
From there you can always have a play with the values and also the "Selective Colour" tool in PS to highlight and change different tones.
This is only rough settings, you can play around with them to suit your taste.
I have no idea if this is how others do it but it's how I have done it in the past. Then again I have never produced a truly stunning and in depth solar image like those in question.
