: Remove vertical and horizontal lines I have a picture of tall-ship-stations with a grid on it. I want to remove the grid so I can mirror the sides, convert to svg and have it laser cut.
I have a picture of tall-ship-stations with a grid on it. I want to remove the grid so I can mirror the sides, convert to svg and have it laser cut.
I have done a bit of research beforehand, but none of the solutions I found was applicable to my specific case.
Line trace with low density - since all the lines are equally potent, this did not work.
Go by color - since both the stations and grid are same color, this did not work.
Ask on fiverr - no one would take the task and do it for me.
Google a program that could remove all vertical and horizontal lines - didn't find any.
Eraser tool on gimp - worked to some extent but it either corrupted the thickness of the lines or made small "crosses" appear where the lines intersected.
Ask a friend - All my designer friends are too busy.
Any hints or tips would be appreciated, preferred with free tools like gimp, inkscape, blender etc.

My friend, since this is just an image you have only two options:
Recreate the design without the lines.
Use photoshop and zoom-in until you see the pixels, grab the eraser and set the mode to Pencil and size to 1px and start erasing with precision like so:
Update
I have added another image i made in under 2 minutes erasing some lines...Giving it more time makes it better, also, the crosses you mention are not due to the imprecision of the erase but by the opacity of the pixels.
This can be avoided by setting the eraser's opacity to say 10% and clicking on those pixels until you get a smooth transition between them (example in second image).
