Im working a project, at some point 2 lines 1 px in hight was added to the bottom of the image.

this is to be a repeating pattern, and it really stands out. how can I remove this line from the bottom of the image.

in the image its the brown line at the bottom.

thank you

I got something similar yesterday. I used the rectangle select tool to select the whole image minus the line at the bottom. Select 'Float' and then look at the size of the floating selection by right-clicking Scale Layer.
Copy this to a new image of the exact dimensions you saw above.

This was the only way I found to get rid of it.
You maybe able to just Scale the Layer up a bit to cover the line but this changes the original image.

You could also use the Color Picker :colpick
To sample the beige color and using the Pencil Tool :pencil
To color in this line.

The image below shows my result,
when applying the aforementioned suggestion.

The colour blend was my first effort..the problem is the image had multiple colours along the same line/bottom.
the image selection is difficult, this image is huge (133"x20").

this there a way to shrink the canvas by 1 px along the bottom?

Yes, do Image -> Canvas size and change the height.
(Then if you want do Layer -> Layer to image size).
