I am just getting started with PS. My main reason in getting the program was to edit hundreds of concert photos I took in the 70's on 35mm film and had developed my mail in companies (remember Clark, anyone?) Most of the photos are lousy, but they have great sentimental value and it is time for me to try and resurrect them. Like most newbies, I find PS overwhelming but want to dive into it. Can anyone give me some guidance on the basic steps needed to start improving this photo, which is among the worst of them because in addition to the poor exposure, the developers cut the negative through the picture, then taped it back together and printed the photo, which I recently scanned. I need a few basic steps to enhance the overall image and then to get rid of the line. I want to do this myself, I am not asking anyone to do it for me. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks so much.

To get rid of the line I would use the clone tool, or the spot healing tool, I'm not sure about making the image better overall I'm afraid, only thing I would do is either play with the levels to try and get some depth, or run a few noise filters x
