Yes, you can colorize a black and white photo in Photoshop. To do this, you need to first convert the image to grayscale. You can do this by going to Image > Mode > Grayscale. Next, go to Image > Adjustments > Replace Color.

In the Replace Color dialog box, select the black and white areas of the image that you want to colorize. Then, click on the color that you want to replace those areas with. You can also use the Hue, Saturation, and Lightness sliders to fine-tune the colors. Finally, click OK to apply the changes.

PRO TIP: While it is possible to colorize a black and white photo in Photoshop, it is important to note that this process is not reversible. Once a black and white photo has been colorized, it cannot be reverted back to its original state. Therefore, it is important to be sure that you are happy with the results of the colorization before proceeding.
