\:/ Hi I have a question regaurding pictures with scan lines. I have searched and searched and can come up with no way to remove scan lines, but lots of ways to put them in.

I create ads and was emailed a picture of a house that is covered in lines. I would love to know if there is a way to remove them in PS. I have PS CS.
Thanks!
 
It possible, but it depends on the image. However I can't make a suggestion without seeing it.
 
As Gaussian said, it depends on the actual image... but real scan lines are the absence of image data. Since there is no data there, there is nothing to remove. Tutorials on making scanlines basically simulate this by covering certain portions of a picture with black or other things to make the scanlines, effectively destroying the data in a flattened image. Either way, the data is gone. Without the picture data, there is nothing to fix. All you could do is try to minimize the damage by judicious cloning and blurring.

If you post an image, it might make it easier to give specific advice, but I wouldn't get my hopes up. Sorry.
 
I don't remember the name of it, but I believe I've seen a plugin to do specifically this.. try googling "remove scan lines" and you'll probably find it.
