Elementary I'm sure, but it's driving me completely crazy. I've scanned a fold-out. The resulting image has a crease I want to Inpaint. I can locate this crease exactly with ImageTake but I can't for the life of me make it work in Inpaint. Nothing I can think of makes it work. I really would be grateful if someone could tell me how to do it. I was hoping for something like Inpaint[foldout, ImageTake[foldout, rowCount, {startColCrease, endColCrease}]] but oh no that's no way hard enough to work in Mathematica.

I would be even more grateful if in the next edition of Mathematica Help file topic begin with straightforward examples that stupids with ordinary IQs below 180 can understand. Really is that too much to ask?
