Great choice! Before printing your full order, we will create one physical proof card so you can confirm:

You could say we’re familiar with film processing. In fact, it’s how we got our start in 1947. Needless to say, we know what we’re doing when it comes to turning your rolls of film into stunning images.
We use a trusted, traditional developing process before scanning, digitizing or printing your images. With our film processing services, each and every negative is analyzed to optimize exposure, contrast and color. Our experienced production team personally inspects every image for quality so your digital files and prints from film will last a lifetime and beyond. In fact, our archival quality papers will last at least 80 years without fading or discoloration when properly displayed or stored.

The size of film refers to the area exposed to light during an exposure.

Service times do not include time spent in transit.
They are different formats/sizes. The camera type dictates the film size that is used in the specific camera.• 35mm: Most common. Works in point-and-shoot and SLR cameras.• 120 (Medium Format): Larger negatives = higher image quality. Used in professional cameras.• 110: "Pocket Instamatic" film. No longer manufactured.• APS: (Advanced Photo System; Fuji Nexia) cartridge film with developed negatives returned in the cartridge.

It's up to you! Our pricing is structured to make it easy to add a set of prints to your order. There's nothing quite like a print from film, so we always recommend both. We produce just about any size print up to 40x60" in size and on a variety of archival paper and media options.

Faint images can be caused by many factors including the camera's metering system being out of calibration, film exceeding the expiration date, film left in a hot car, and improper settings when photographing. Color film usually performs best when shot at half of the suggest ISO/ASA rating. Poor color can be caused by improper film choice (shooting "professional film" which is intended for studio work and made to lessen contrast) when an armature film will add contrast and color definition, old or expired film, and film exposed to excessive heat. Grainy film usually is underexposed by the photographer either by accident, or by a camera needing the exposure meter calibrated. High ISO/ASA film can also give a grainy effect. If hand developing film, excessive agitation during the process will also cause excessive grain.
Reddish bands on your images is usually caused by the foam seals on your cameras back door being degraded. Most 35mm cameras come from the 1980s, making them around 45 years old. Foam material used by most manufactures of cameras will turn sticky and fall off of the camera in time, allowing daylight to expose your film when in the camera causing the reddish streaks.
Whether or not to have the film (negatives) returned to you, is an option when placing the order. If the film is blank, you will be notified via email, but negs will only be returned if that option is selected at time of ordering.
The development/scanning process is identical whether the film has 1 image or 36 images, so the time spent by our lab team is the same. A partial refund is only given if the film is totally blank and the scanning process can be skipped.
Images too far apart or too close/overlapped are caused by a problem with the cameras advance system. Have your camera checked by a repair technician.
If you purchase digital scans, they will be uploaded to a personal gallery in your account, where you can download the images or order prints.
