Need help saving pictures please!

[teaser]

I have some pictures of my mom and dad (back when I was a kid) having a good night fishing the canal, well I have 3 pictures that I cannot copy or photoshop to save them and was wondering if I could get some expert help here.

My buddy came over the other day with his kids and while we were working on my boat his kids were amusing themselves in my den, well turns out they pulled out a photo album with pics of my parents holding some stripers and they decided to draw on the pictures with ball point pen, I think they've ruined the pictures for good but was hoping maybe to get some advice here on how to try and save them.

Anyone know how to remove pen ink without wiping out the pics for good?

Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated, thanks in advance!

when you clean them...
start on the outside edge
not in the middle...
to prevent further damage....

they still can be scanned
and the scribling edited out
and once completed

you can reprint them...
i could do it for ya
i can do anything!!
my scanners broken tho...

some stores and print shops
have all the new scanners
and photo editing software
like kinko's.....for example

get them online ....say here
