Hi,
Several of my friends asked me to retouch their black and white old family albums after reading the article I wrote about a photoshop plugin that is designed for quick photo resorations and retouch:

I think it would be helpful for everyone that deals with old scanned photos. Healing brush is, of course, the best, but takes huge amount of time to pass through a really damaged photo. The plugin requires just the damaged area to be selected (by drawing with a color brush and inverting the selection) and works almost automatically.
Really time saving in my opinion.
