Burn/Dodge tool

 This tool is good for black and white photos especially. As long as there is some detail in the photo. Burn will usually bring faded black lines out. Making them darker. You can do this with a brush or there is also a burn layer mode (where you would duplicate your layer and use the layer mode) Dodge can work wonders if a dark photo has detail in it. Not a fully black photo but a dark photo. It does the opposite of burn, lightening areas. You can also use this as a brush or layer mode.
If only parts of the photo need burn or dodge. Bring your view up and work on that area with a brush.
