And I am paid for it!

I haven't used it my self, but Akvis has a tool just for this
purpose...
But I have used other Akvis tools and they are quite nice.

Microsoft's PictureIt does a pretty good job. PictureIt is bundled
with Microsoft WORKS. It may also be in their OFFICE package.

Just google

Mainly, I do it for friends and family who want to restore family photos
that are 50-75 years old.
Often they have been passed down through several generations.

I have found making a good scan to work from the basic starting point.
Then progressive and slow repair with all the tools you have available
in PS, in my case CS2.

In this example, a shot of my father and grandfather, the crease is
obvious on my grandfather's right side. The scan leaves deep shadows,
some of which are best to minimize rather to completely clone, or
patch, as the texture of the jacket would be ruined. I managed to fix
the obvious problem, and the in the final result cured my father of
smoking (something he hasn't done in 50 years. he is still a healthy
86).
