Your procedure is generally good, but I would add a first step: Make the
best possible copy of the damaged picture, whether it be a scan or a
photogrpahic negative.
It's possible that soaking it will have no ill effect on the photo, and will
soften the emulsion and base sufficiently that the crease can be flattened
out. It's also possible that the soaking will destroy the photo.
