You can quickly remove scratches and other blemishes using a paintbrush motion using the Inpainting Brush Tool (Affinity Photo) or Healing Brush Tool (Photoshop)
"Paint" the area you want to be cleaned up and then the program will analyze the surrounding area and fill in the scratch with a matching texture. In both programs you can use the [ and ] keys to quickly make the brush smaller or bigger.
