The Restoring Your Photos seminar by Dennis Allen and Cris Nagla focused on the use of the Paint program to touch up photos. Suggestions included copying areas of the same color to overlay missing parts and using the pencil tool to fill in defects. Always work with a copy of your scan and save frequently. That way you can return to an earlier point if you don't like some of what you have changed. They had examples of what they have done with pictures and showed the steps used for some of them.
They also had some additional useful suggestions for dealing with photos. You can scan slides on a scanner not equipped for slides by leaving the scanner lid up and providing plenty of overhead light. They demonstrated how to deal with rolled pictures that are too brittle to unroll. Using a spacesaver bag and a vaporizor to add moisture, the photo gradually becomes more flexible. They recommend adding vapor, zipping the bag shut for four hours, and repeating every four hours for about three days to get the picture where it can be put ounder a book to hold it flat.
