Yes—this is the kind of defect that can often be reduced, but not perfectly removed if the stripes have replaced real image information.

From the community answers, two workable approaches are:

1. Frequency-domain removal (Fourier transform) Repeating vertical stripe patterns can often be reduced by targeting their frequency components. This can work well because the defect is periodic, but if the pattern is strong and widespread, some image detail may already be lost.

2. Selective horizontal blur of only the bright stripe pixels Instead of blurring the whole image, select the near-white stripe pixels (for example with a color-range selection), then apply a small horizontal weighted blur so each affected pixel is averaged from neighbors left and right. One answer used a custom kernel like 1, 2, 3, 2, 1 across the center row, scaled by the sum. Repeating this gently can reduce the stripes while preserving more overall detail than motion blur on the full image.

Best practice: work lightly, mask only the damaged bright lines, and accept that areas where the stripes completely replaced detail cannot be fully restored.
