[Ham-Computers] Re Removing Scotch Tape Marks

Hi All, 	
	
I have some old short-wave QSL cards that I used Scotch tape on to hold them on
the peg board in my bedroom when I was a teenager in the early sixties. When the
cards were taken down, the tape was not removed. Probably because it started to
damage the card surface underneath, hence it is still there.  	
	
Now most of you know I am totally blind now, I was not then, and I am wondering
if there is some method by which these unsightly tape marks can be removed from
a scanned image? For obvious reasons I do not do much with graphics! 	
	
I have a grandson who is nearly thirteen who can do the work, 'if' the process
is not too complicated to perform. I have MS Paint, Korel Draw version 5.0,
Professor Franklin's photography software and Adobe Photo Deluxe. Will any of
these work? If so, how does one go about doing it?	
	
Thank you.
