Hi everyone, 

I recently shot some photos on a dim lit balcony with electronic shutter on and I have noticed some dissapointing results on some images. 

 

I have researched just about everything I can think of in an attempt to remove these horrible lines. However, I have come up empty handed. 

 

Does anyone here have a realistic approach to removing the lines out of this photo?

What was the light source? What was your shutter speed? If some kind of LED lighting, those bars are caused by the cycling of the LEDS brightness with the frequency of the power supply.

1/320 shutter speed. 

And there were LED lights everywhere unfortunately.

If you have 50 Hz A/C power, try a shutter speed slower than 1/50 sec so the power cycle can complete and you should have even lighting. The same thing happens in the US with 60 Hz power on LEDs and fluorescent bulbs.

Sorry, I can't think of a way to remove that in processing.
