I think you can try to use Photoshop. Otherwise, you can engage the service of some websites, maybe you try to google "phokki". It is a recent site i found in digg. They charge around USD 8 +, which may be pretty reasonable as long as the quality is good. I tried using their vector pop art only though.

You can also use GIMP. It is a free alternative to Photoshop.

You will need to scan your picture in digital form. Either get it done at kinkos or your local pharmacy. If you do not own a scanner.

Here is a tutorial on restoring photo with GIMP application.
It is free and it cost nothing.
(Photoshop costs between $200-$500)
