The Scratch Remover tool lets you remove scratches, cracks, and other unwanted image areas from photos.
You can repair individual scratches by using the Scratch Remover tool.
You can use the tool to enclose the flawed area and fill it with the surrounding content that you want to keep. If the background is relatively smooth, the result is usually satisfying. Scratches on a textured or more complex background may be more effectively removed with the Clone Brush tool. For information about the Clone Brush tool, see Removing flaws and objects.
For images containing many small scratches, you can use the Automatic Small Scratch Remover command. For more information, see To remove scratches automatically.
Edit workspace
To avoid removing important details from areas surrounding the scratch, you can limit the correction by creating a selection. For information about creating selections, see Creating selections.
If you are not satisfied with the result, click the Undo button 
, reselect the scratch, and try varying the width of the tool.
If the scratch extends over several different backgrounds, you can try removing the scratch one section at a time.
