I shot an event with lasers and now a line appears in my images, likely from sensor damage. Is there a practical way to fix this in post-processing, especially in Photoshop?

If the line is visible in each photo, the simplest fix is to remove it in editing. In Photoshop, the Remove tool is a straightforward way to clean up a line like this. For best results, zoom in and work carefully along the affected area. If the damage appears in the same place on every image, you may need to repeat the correction on each photo or sync the edit where possible. Post-processing can hide the symptom in the final image, but it won’t repair the sensor itself.
