If you are looking to repair [not restore] a tear in a regular photo try using Transparent Mending Tissue from Lineco. It comes in a roll, is pH neutral, archival and has an acrylic self-adhesive. I use it to repair tears and stop further damage on old photos by applying on the backs. As an added benefit it nearly 'disappears' when you apply it. I've also used it to reinforce seams on newspaper items and other old paper pieces that aren't worth the attention of a world-class restorations expert.
