Pink line on all R6 images

[deedeeo]

A pink line appeared on my screen while shooting on my R6 (less than a year old). unfortunately the line is on the images. Same issue with different cards and it's consistently there. 

I haven't brought it back yet, but my biggest issue is how to fix the images?

Hard to tell without a raw file.

Here is the raw file

[Peter]

Affecting two columns beside each other and gets stronger a bit down. No idea how to fix that. Perhaps a bad pixel filter https://rawpedia.rawtherapee.com/Dark_Frame#Bad_Pixels

or Pixel fixer if you convert to DNG http://www.pixelfixer.org/

Pixel fixer didn't support your raw file.

RawTherapee worked but doesn't read Exif from CR3. I converted first to DNG.

To me it seems like your sensor has been exposed to a laser. The purple dot/dots.

Anyway, I created a badpixel file and named it Canon EOS R6.badpixels

I used LibreOffice Calc to generate the numbers.
x1466,y0
x1466,y2
x1466,y4
etc...

I noticed the columns and every second pixel in each.

Badpixel file to put in your dark-frames directory https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pSkGYZ-8N1bdegbKmjbDn6iXCxDUQ0nd/view?usp=share_link

Still a visible line at the bottom.

There are some more purple dots to be marked as bad pixels and at the bottom a line is still visible.

Thank you so much for your help. so I'm trying to export them as DNG's to begin with and lightroom doesn't seem to be exporting them. did you use lightroom to export it?

[Peter]

I used Adobe DNG Converter to convert, but you may try to load the original CR3 files also in RawTherapee 5.9.

Thanks for your help Peter, I'm struggling to load the files into RawThereapee. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I haven't used the software before. 

Also I'm not sure what you meant by the following

What do you mean by badpixel file? Is this needed to use Rawtherapee?

Sorry for my ignorance.

Probably not the solution you are looking for, but I was curious to see if I could fix it quickly in one of the programs I have. I dropped it into PaintShop Pro 2023, which opens Canon Raw files, and used its "Scratch remover" tool. It only took about 5 minutes, if that long, to manually remove the line. I'd guess most editors will do this, but I really like the way PSP has the tool set up and it blends quite nicely.

When I saved the Raw from PSP to JPeG, I did add a touch of sharpening. Other than removing the pixels, cropping (to show the removal), and resizing, that was all I did to your file.

Nice shot, and sorry you are having this issue 😞

Removed the line and removed more purple dots.
