I occasionally take on requests to restore damaged family photos in Photoshop. Some of these photos have suffered heavy damage, and I enjoy that particular challenge. Most are precious in one way or another to the client, and many times it's the only photo someone has of a beloved or lost relative. I think it's important to take one's time when restoring such photographs. It's easy to use shortcuts, but the best results come from meticulous care.
