Turning B&W photo to color?

6 years 2 months ago #565297 by Street Shark
Can older B&W photos that have been scanned to digital be changed to color via Photoshop?  I bought one of those Wolverine film scanners and have been converting our old film to digital.  Would be nice if this can be done.  

If so, how can this be done?  

Thanks for the help.

Yes, colorizing is a thing. And there are some very good examples out there of what can be accomplished.

Google for " black and white colorized ".

Time consuming processing though.  A friend of mind was doing that for a little bit.
