I do it with the clone tool using a small and soft brush. I just
select an area directly adjacent and clone it in. Where there are
lines through the scratch, just make sure you get them aligned
properly. That's easiest with CS4, which shows you the clone patch
you're pasting in. Many of my film negs came back from the lab with
scratches. I've fixed countless scans. That's one thing I don't miss
about film -- from among many.

Me... I've had 'em in sleeves untouched since 1983. But there are
long horizontal scratches occasionally which must have been put
there - well, it doesn't matter how they got there.
Is there an easy tool which one can use (like the healing brush, but
long and narrow) where a person can select a long stripe and just
"make it go away"?
Otherwise, what is the simplest way to take care of those types of
defects when the rest of the image/frame is A.O.K. and doesn't need
much processing other than exposure/curves?
