Hello great men and glorious gods of TL. I a gentle simple minded creature am an need of your help if possible. I have three really, really, old photos I took with my digital camera and they look just like the originals (took a photo of a photo  ). Problem is the originals look horrid. One has a couple of brown stains and the other has fingerprints on it. The third photo isn't that bad, but was wondering if it could be fixed up a little.
They are of my grandparents when they were young, great-great grandparents and great-great uncle/aunt. I would like to fix these up and give these as a gift to my grandmother. I tried with an online photo editor called "Picnik" which was some help in regards to the contrast/exposure, but was wondering if the stains and fingerprints can be removed. And if they can be touched up a bit more. I've tried the kodak photo center before, but don't think it will be any good in this case.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm sorry but unless the finger prints are on a layer ( which their not ) you can't do much

I doubt I'm adept enough to make it that much better but I think I can improve it a little.
NOTE: What I did was not *actually* repairing the picture in any way. I merely used a clone stamp to replace the imperfections with other parts of the picture, as well as filter out some of the color within the splotches, as well as remove some completely (through clone stamp usage, mostly).
Here's my attempt.

EDIT2: Probably the most noticeable part of this one is that the zigzags aren't quite aligned very well. I could have probably done better, but it would take quite a while longer, and sorry, but I'm tired and want to sleep, haha.

Archaic that is AMAZINGGGGG! Thank you so much!!
It's not so much of "repairing" the picture, but fixing it so it looks presentable.
Many, many, many, thanks and enjoy your sleep!!

I like that look personally, tbh. I love gritty looking photos, and you'll find a lot of ppl who mess around with film just to emulate that look...and here you are trying to mess that up...):
Just kidding.
I honestly suck at doing anything but normal photo post-processing from a digital camera...that's like color correction and shit. I can't even remove artifacts and I hate digital noise reduction. Good luck.
