How Do I Remove Unwanted Horizontal Lines on Photoshop
I am new to PS and following a guide from someone here on the forums. I noticed now after a few maps that I have these lines I can not get rid of. At first I thought it was something I did wrong, but now seeing them one 3 different maps I feel like it is a flaw of the program, or something I am just over looking. I am using the old CS 2 and was wondering if perhaps it is a watermark hard coded into the program, since it is a free program. Anyways, was wonder if anyone could help and here is a map to give you an idea of the lines I am talking about.

I cant tell you how to get rid of the lines in PS or some other programs but I have used my own to reduce their impact them here at the expense of some damage to other parts of the map. Hope this helps tho. I dont even know what process was creating them either. Looks like a bug in the program which is generating the map.

Huh, it is interesting that you were able to get rid of them. The problem is, I've worked on 3 maps now, and they all have this line issue. I've gone through and removed everything down to the background layer, and still can see them. Perhaps it was a corrupted PS install. I shall download and install it fresh and see if that fixes the issue.
By the way, what program did you use to fix it?
Pretty sure you night have one of the grid options turned on
Looking at it, I probably shouldn't have uploaded a map with a grid on it lol. What I am looking at, is if you zoom in you will see these lines, almost like smudges across the map distorting the image. Even when I strip it down to a background layer I still see them so I am not sure what the problem is. Here is a picture without a grid layer, you may have to zoom in a bit to see the smudges I am talking about.Originally Posted by Eri

the gimp gmic plugin has a inpaint option
paint the lines 100% red or 100% green or such
set the mask color as that color and run it
or for very regular "noise" use a FFT transform - forward
edit that virt and horz noise
then run a fft transform - inverse
example from using a fft

By default, the grid in Photoshop is just something to help you, it is not part of the image. Unless you add a grid as a layer, there should not be one on the image. At least, I've never heard of that problem before.
But I'm wondering, where did you get this free PS CS2? Was it legit?

If I recall correctly, when Adobe shut down the activation servers for CS2, and they offered a way for registered users to keep installing the product even without the servers. Folks who weren't licensed users of the product have been taking advantage of this workaround to get "free" copies of CS2. https://www.cnet.com/news/adobe-rele...te-2-for-free/ has some information.
Sorry for the late reply been busy with life, I believe it was legit. Got it off the Adobe page IIRC. That is why I was curious if perhaps it was a hard coded water mark because I can't register the program due to Adobe shutting all the servers down that have to do with CS2.
I will try Waldronate's suggestion and see if I can fix this issue. I have no problem using GIMP, so if I can't fix this I may just go back to using that. I just figured I would learn PS because it seems to have more guides and tutorials on how to do things than GIMP does.
