Scratches on Lens
Is it possible to have a scratch removed from a camera lens?I often have visible marks on my photos due to a scratch. You can view it in this picture as a white curved line.

I don't know if they can, I somehow doubt it.
Get a lens filter. I spend about 35 bucks for a decent one and if it gets scratched it's not a big deal. Protects about 200 bucks worth of glass behind it so it's a good investment. All my lens have filters on them all the time.
Sorry about your lens. You can definitely see it on your photo

It looks horrible on this picture. This business sure is a money grab. I really like my camera even though it is ancient, minus the scratch of course.

Like this, use a retouch button (this one is in Corel PSP X3)

I assume you can see it on your lens since you are asking about removing it. Usually though, it has to be a pretty big scratch to show up in a picture. The depth of field is so short that it's out of focus and you never see it except maybe as a slight blur area. It's like when you take a picture through a chain link fence or a dirty window and you hold your camera up real close to them. You don't actually see the chain link fence or dirty window as it's to out of focus. You will get a loss of sharpness though.
If you back away from the bead a ways does it show up as sharp? Are you sure it's not on the UV filter that sits over your digital sensor?

I was going to say what mike said. If you have a good camera shop in your area, it would be cheaper to replace the front lens than to get it repaired.
