How to fix this weird steroscopic plate artifact?

Hi everyone.

Client scanned this old stereoscopic plate and there is some sort of "interlacing"-esque artifact that is causing the overall image to look blurry. Edit: it turns out this is not a lenticular print but these are scanner artifacts.

Here's a crop:

The wavelength seems to be about 16 px, and it seems to shift the affected pixels by about 16 px horizontally as well. De-interlace only works with 1px rows, and the wave tool doesn't do the trick either as it creates its own artifacts.

How would you approach this fix?

Correct answer c.pfaffenbichler

Are the lines perfectly horizontal and regular?

If so the Filter Displace could be useful, but otherwise …

Tell the client to stop scanning during an earthquake... 🙂 Excellent job!

Hello, is it a lenticular image?

I think most filters would not work as the difference won't be the same everywhere to create the stereoscopic effect, the illusion of movement/depth...
