Services
The Three Processes:
• Develop and Scan
Most orders are dev/scan orders. This means you drop off unprocessed film and we email you digital files.
• Develop only
You drop off unprocessed film, we develop it, and set your negatives outside for pickup. We do not email you any pictures. Select this if you are going to scan them yourself.
• Scan only
You drop off negatives, we scan them, and send you back digital files. Select this if you're dropping off film that has already been processed.

We process C-41 (color), black & white, ECN-2 (cinema film), E-6 (slide), 35mm, 120, and disposable cameras.

Terms Explained
35mm film
is the most common film type. It comes in a little canister that has a small piece of film sticking out.
120 film
is a medium format film. It is wrapped around a spool and has a paper backing.
Disposable cameras
are plastic single-use cameras. They are loaded with 35mm film.
Develop
This is the process of the process of using chemicals to reveal the images on a film strip.
Scan
The process of converting the images on a film strip into digital files that are emailed to you.
Negatives
The film strip that your images are physically on.
Borders
The part of the negative that surrounds the image. This includes the holes in 35mm film, and any text or numbers on the edge of the film.
Push/Pull Film
This is the process of developing your film longer or shorter depending on if your film was shot at a different ISO speed (or if the film is expired).
Ex. If you shot Portra 400 but your camera ISO was set to 800 instead of 400, you would push the film one stop.
Half-frame or 3D camera
Half-frame or 3d cameras capture multiple images per exposure.
