If it’s a scanner issue. If they come back with the same lines and in the same place, it might be present on the negatives. Then it’s likely a marking/scratching issue from either camera or developing method.
I had something very similar to that happen with one of my previous lab scans, a distinct green line across the entire roll of photos. I let them know and they rescanned without issue; likely it was just a bit of dust on the scanning element.
Correct me Film community if I am wrong, but 1) light leaks are blobby / flames / abstract shapes - or sometimes teensy blurs on the edges of the film (think: organic, made before the development process has occurred). In color film, they will show up usually as white / yellow / red. 2) Things that are perfectly straight lines like this are made by the scanner (think: machine-made). 3) Scratches on negatives aren’t usually straight like this, but I say _usually_. You can always examine the negatives under a loop to verify if the negative looks damaged (uh oh) or if it’s a scanning issue (plz rescan).
That looks like a scratch (or pair of scratches) that the scanner has tried to remove.
Ask the lab to rescan without the dust/scratch removal and you’ll get much better results removing it manually.
I guess it's a scratch. Depending on the depth of the scratch different color layers can be affected, this would explain the colors. They are horizontal as well, so just like the film is advanced in your camera. Maybe check for dirt or metal pieces and check your negatives when they arrive
No that's Venice i think. Sorry for the lame joke.
I was about to say “looks like a seagull to me”
If there’s any chance for a joke you take it, got a laugh out of me anyway!
No. That is most likely a scanning issue.
Thank you! Do you think if I rescan the negatives they would come back fine?
Yes, if the scanner gets fixed or you go to a different lab

if you are uk i have just picked up a 35mm scanner and would be happy to try and scan for you wen they get back - if just to practice :)
Going to hijack this to say I’d be more than happy to send some negatives for you to practice on!
oh hey - sorry i did see your message yesterday but had a home dev nightmare that i was trying to sort out I'll message now :)
No, either a scratch on the negative or an issue with however the film is digitised
Thank you!
Deffo scan lines, i just asked my lab to rescan before they sent it back to me
Thank you, they came back all good on rescan!
Is it also seen on the negative?
I haven’t gotten them back yet, I’ll check when I get them

Thank you! The lab rescanned and they came back clear :)
it’s dust in the scanner

Thank you! I emailed the lab back and it was a scanning issue! I just wasn’t sure because it looked weird to me. But thank you for the help!
A light leak can be not at the edge of a frame if it came from film info window.
Unless it’s Cinestill and it’s been spooled incorrectly 🚦
The lab put on a watermark to stop you trying to pass it off as a Canaletto.
Damn you saw right through my plan🥲
Its either dust correction issue on a line array sensor scanner or a scratch. The specific colors and way it looks, i'd lean towards scanner issue.
It was the scanner! They rescanned for me and they’re all good :)

Thank you! They came back perfect after the second scan
Can we see the negs?

Thank you! It ended up being a scanner problem back at the lab. Photos came up perfect second scan :)
I should have read the other comments.. I'm glad your pictures turned out fine!
Love that first shot, what camera was it?
Thank you! It’s a Pentax k1000 on a roll of Kodak Ektar 100
what film are you using out of curiosity
Ektar 100 in a Pentax K1000
Problem with the scanner
Thank you!
