Film Developing
You could say we know our way around a roll of film—it’s how we got started, way before digital was a thing. We use time-tested techniques to develop your film, then carefully scan and digitize each shot. Every negative gets a pro-level checkup for color, sharpness, and detail, so your prints and files look amazing and last for decades. Want prints from your film? We’ve got you covered with gorgeous, long-lasting options.

With our film processing services, each and every negative is analyzed to optimize color, density, and sharpness.

In fact, our archival quality papers will last at least 80 years without fading and discoloration.

Film Developing FAQs
-
What’s the difference between 35mm, 120, 110, and APS film?
They’re just different formats—mainly in size and shape.
• 35mm: Most common. Works in point-and-shoot and SLR cameras.
• 120 (Medium Format): Larger negatives = higher image quality. Used in pro gear.
• 110: Tiny film for pocket cameras. No longer made.
• APS: Older rare cartridge film. -
How do I know what kind of film I have?
Check the canister for markings. Still unsure? Bring it in—we’ll help you figure it out.
-
Will I get digital scans, prints, or both?
There's nothing quite like a print from film, so we always recommend both.
-
Will you correct color and exposure? Or do you scan film “as-is”?
We do a general color and density enhancement on all scans to ensure your images look their best.
