Hello,

I have a photo that was folded in half, unfortunately,
and I wonder if either Photoshop and/or The GIMP are
able to remove this crease.

Thank you for any assistance.

1) Open a Photoshop or GIMP window.
2) Carefully unfold the photograph.
3) Tape it to your monitor with the picture side facing the monitor.
4) In Photoshop or GIMP, select the Blur tool.
5) Run the cursor along the crease.
6) Carefully remove the photograph from the monitor, and the crease will
be invisible.

IWO there is no automated one button fix using those programs

however YOU can repair the image if you know how to use PS
learn cloner and it's options and/or healing tools

I don't know GIMP

restoration is one of the more difficult tasks in PS and should be done by
an expert if you want a professional result
if you are not all that picky a repair by a beginner as yourself may suffice

I have done what you wish to do in either Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro. I
forget which. It's been so long ago that I can't remember details. Play
with it. You have nothing to loose.

Once you scanned it into the computer, it's easy to fix using the clone tool
with the above apps.

LOL. Obviously several other repliers, never really read the above!

You have white-out spots on your monitor, too, don't you?!
BTW, that's not a holder for your coffee cup...

Having done a number of these as well as badly discolored B &Ws,
the degree of crease et al has a LOT to do with how easy it is to
clone. Sometimes, the best one can do is blur it some and hope for
the best. I suppose the OP could post their picture(s) to some
binary NG so people could take a crack at fixing them ...
