I have used the Healing Brush Tool, the second tool down under the healing brush menu. This allows you to manually select the area you want to apply over the scratch. Blow the pic up to 200% and select the area as close as you can to the scratch, press alt and click with the mouse release the alt key and click the mouse on the area you want to repair, I think the directions are correct for a mouse. If possible use a wacom pad. It can be very time consuming.
You can also use the clone tool in the same way, you may have to sample from several areas to get the repair to blend nicely.
Lovely B&W images JaKo - repairing a scratch is as others have said already combination of clone and stamp tool job in PS for me usually.
Does anyone have the GF670 standard? I am thinking of adding it to my "collection" but was interested to hear of any first hand experiences first as I am very happy with the GF670W model.

I have both the GF670 and GF670W. I've posted dozens if not hundreds of images from these cameras in this thread.
The GF670's lens is every bit as sharp as the W version, with the added benefit of being half the size when folded up. I've carried my GF670 all over Asia the past two years. Great, great camera.
Paul, congrats to your Toyo! Great first subject to work with the Toyo's movements. How did you develop the sheet - in a tray or in a reel? Nice work with the Ikonta too.
Huss, your "Acid Dream" is a really great match for it's title or vice versa ;-) Would love to try a XM/XK, but for now my only Minolta will be my beloved Autocord.
JaKo, the slightly blurred couple-shot is very intense, it wouldn't have this impact if tack-sharp. Sorry for my bad English.
Nico, great set. My personal favs are #2 and #5 for the very effective and clean framing.
Steve, the grain works really well on your portrait.
Tom, very nice crowded street-scenes. Will you move into another big city or try a more rural neighborhood after Shanghai?

...my beloved Autocord with some teutonic stuff attached to it - the small tripod is nice but the plate doesn't fit the bottom of the Autocord. The cable-release will probably be present in some of the pictures shot with the Minolta. At least the "Franke&Heidecke"-filter and the Rollei-hood work great in front of the fantastic Rokkor.

I'm moving into rural Michigan, which is supremely frightening to me. I have no idea what I'll be photographing although Jon is giving me some potential taste (minus the mountains that has has).
I'm going to have a massive case of culture shocking moving from 6 years of living in a city of 25 million people to a town of 50,000 or so.
Thank you Tom. I really appreciate the feedback. Always been a "color" man and recently diving more into traditional B&W. My wife and I take a lot of back road drives and the rural farmlands is something that usually I pass by on the way somewhere. Now I am making it my destination, documenting the beauty of the farmland.
I empathize with the culture shock. Though not the city of 25 million (can't even fathom that, my NYC trip 10 years ago about freaked me out), I moved from a city of 1million to a town of 1200 with no red light. Took me 5 years to get used to it. Once I did though, I wanted to stay. I now live in a town of about 10,000. I like rural now and can't imagine living in a metro area again.
Thank you Georg. I use a Mod54 insert in a Patterson 3-reel tank http://www.mod54.com/products/mod54-mk27-paterson-3-reel-tank
It is supposed to take 6 sheets at a time, but I still have trouble to load only two sheets the proper way. Need more practice, I guess.
By the way, I often buy stuff from Macodirect.de. They have Berger 400 black and white film that looks interesting at a reasonable price.
Nice Autocord. Rolleiflexes and Yashica Mats don't fit easily on a tripod either; you probably need something like a Rolleifix.
You can always read some Hemingway and relax... The open spaces give you more room to think. I ed the city 5 years ago and can't imagine moving back. Drove back yesterday for some banking and my poor teenage son said very quietly "I could never live here"...

Jon, a very nice set. Still have to try Kentmere 400. My personal favs from your set are the first and the last shot.
Tom, the last image on Acros looks almost like an IR-image with the very bright foliage. Did you use a filter?
Moving from one of the largest cities of the world to rural Michigan must be a cultural shock indeed. But I'm sure you'll find plenty of photo-opportunities.
Paul, the MOD54-insert looks great and your 4x5-sheet seems to be very even developed. Congrats - my first 4x5-sheets were not very even developed and had more scratches than I would like to admit.
So far I've tried the JOBO 2509n-reels and also a Paterson Orbital for my limited 4x5-processing. My small JOBO-processor can't take the Expert-drums and to be honest I don't shoot enough to justify the cost of those rather expensive devices. Will try a CombiPlan-tank soon.
Almost snowy, Tom. I have some Acros 4x5 in the fridge, but I'll practice with FP4 first.
Georg, my first two sheets came loose from the Mod54 and were heavily scratched too. The third was okay, but the fourth came loose as well. But at least I now have three sheets to exercise with.
