It is possible to restore the original colors of a black and white image that was edited by someone else without having access to the original application used to convert it. There are several online tools and software programs that can be used to restore and recolor old photos, including Fotor, BeFunky, and Photoshop. These tools use advanced algorithms to analyze and enhance every pixel of the photo, fix faded colors, repair imperfections, and restore photo clarity. Some of these tools also allow users to adjust the effect and make nondestructive edits to the image. To restore color to a black and white photo in Photoshop, you can use the AI Image Enhancer and the Vibrant Colors DLX Effect. To correct old faded photos, you can use the Curves adjustment layer in Photoshop to set the black point and adjust the color balance.
