I am trying to change this glossy highlight line on the left side of the image that was caused by a crease in the thing I am scanning. Any ideas? I've tried to burn tool as well as messing with the hue and saturation but it seems to not be precise enough for what I am looking for. close tool or healing brush are a decent idea, but seem to be too noticeable for me to be happy with the result.

Thank you!!

Hello! I'm working with a scan of an older papercraft thing. I'm trying to clean up this linework and for the checkered section do a big average for it. I've tried many different methods like blurring it and then colour selecting or changing the exposure to get things to be more distinct. The paper is incredibly thin and flimsey making the scan extra hard to work with, but i doubt a re-scan would change anything. ideally the workflow would look like this:

import image > apply filters > find averages for big colour blocks > isolate the linework and make it clearer (somehow) > convert the nice separated linework and boxes into vectors. done.

but, as you can see, the lines are patchy at best even after making everything B/W and messing with the B/W filter.

Any ideas would be appreciated!

If I must manually select everything I will, but this screen shot is approximately 2% of the whole image.
