Hello,

What is a good way to remove long skinny black lines from an image? For example https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lc... has long skinny black lines separating the newspaper columns. I would like to remove them, but try and leave the text intact as much as possible.

Thank you in advance for the help!
