I had to clean up some photos for a publication my ex boss did on a local theatre, I had no problem with removing foxing, scratches and tears. My husband han no photograph of his parents sitting close together and i did on that occasion remove other people from a photo and move them together so the family would have a decent photo of their now deceased parents together, but it has frightening possibilities, man is getting to clever for his own good.

Bye the bye photographs were fiddled with long before digital imaging, it was just harder to do.
