I’m new to photography. I’ve a Canon EOS 1100D. Can you change b&w pics back to colour?

I’ve the original SD card with photos on it still. Can you help with the process please?

As mentioned by the others, if you shot jpegs then you are SOL.

If you shot RAW, then open them in Canon's free DPP software (or your RAW converter of choice), and change the "Picture Style" to whatever you like. I like "Standard" myself.

Shooting RAW has many advantages. For one, when I'm shooting B/W, I really like setting the camera to B/W. IMHO it really helps one to visualize what the image will look like in monochrome. You actually "see" differently. And with RAW, you can always go back to the original color if you want.

Best of luck!
