Basically I've scanned in a family photo. The scanner isn't the best, but it's all I have. The picture scans in with any lack of colour - more as if it's behind a smoke screen. :(

I have use of Photoshop and Jasc Paintshop Pro - when I use Enhance Photo (PSP) or Auto Levels (PS), the picture tends to be darkened.

I'd like to be able to add/restore some to this particular photo. I have only one copy, and I'm scared of losing it. So scanning it in is the best way of storing it, for me.

I could even make post the picture here, and let people tweak it. If so, I'd prefer that they told me exactly what they did with it, so I could repeat the same steps.

Or even recommend some photo enhancing software, specifically for enhancing scanned in photographs would be good.

What I've got so far, and I'm quite happy with it.
 
I'm happy with my own photo at the moment.

What is the best way to go about removing the scratches? Clone or smudge tool?
