In the old days, I'd load a color photo across my screen and start painting the photo as a material onto my model's surface. How is this now done in version 4.8? The YouTube videos are from 2010 when 3D-Coat was another program practically.

Ok. Will try that. So smart material will always be the go-to tab now for doing this? There is no regular material tab anymore?

Yeah, in 4.5, Smart Materials were added, which just extended what MATERIALS could do, rather than replace them.
