Fotorepair.

A collegue of me asked me to help him reparing a numer of picterus. His
camera had failed during his vacation, and the last number of pictures were
to 'damaged'.

On the (short) sides of the pictures there are Zebra like patterns present.
An example picture is presented at::

The striping is the stronges on the sides, but also visible in the middle.
I have used some things to remove the striping and keeping the picture as
much as possible intact.
I'll post the used methods later on in this thread, so that you can reply
open minded.

Do you have suggestions to remove the stripes (as much as possible) and keep
the pictue as intact as possible.
How do you judge the result. ?

Does this camera 'error' happen more, and how did this error happen.

I do realise that this is an SLR group, but I think this group has some
expertise in these matters, so that's why I posted here.

Thanks for your time and attenion,
Greetings,
Ben Brugman.
