Photo service FAQs for Acton customers
Could your team restore a faded, torn or creased photograph, and do I need to book an assessment?
Our team deals with this type of request regularly. Restoration is carried out from a careful digital scan so the original can be preserved. Damage and complexity determine the work required; see our photo restoration service. A preliminary enquiry can be made online, while complex damage may need an in-person assessment. We avoid unnecessary changes to original photographs, film and recordings.
Can you develop colour 35mm film with prints or scans, and can several rolls be included in one order?
Yes, this can be arranged. You can choose processing with digital scans, photographic prints or a combination of both. The current choices are listed on our 35mm colour film page. Multiple rolls can share an order when each roll and its requested output are clearly labelled. If anything is unusual, use our contact page before travelling.
Could your team transfer VHS tapes to convenient digital files, and will you confirm the transfer price before starting?
Our team deals with this type of request regularly. VHS recordings can be transferred to supported digital formats for easier viewing and storage. Label each cassette and read our VHS transfer information. Format, quantity, condition and selected output are checked before the transfer price is confirmed. We avoid unnecessary changes to original photographs, film and recordings.
Can you develop 120 medium-format film, and how should old or unidentified film be handled?
Yes, this can be arranged. We handle supported 120 colour and black-and-white films with scan and print choices. Keep exposed rolls sealed and see our 120 film developing information. Do not pull film from a cartridge or clean old negatives; keep everything protected for assessment. If anything is unusual, use our contact page before travelling.
Could your team scan 8mm, 9.5mm or 16mm cine film, and what tapes or reels should I bring?
Our team deals with this type of request regularly. Cine film is assessed by gauge, reel length and condition before scanning to digital files. See the available formats on our cine film transfer page. Keep each cassette or reel labelled and include any known format, running time and recording standard. We avoid unnecessary changes to original photographs, film and recordings.
Can you help with E6 slide film and transparency services, and do I need to book before bringing the film?
Yes, this can be arranged. The correct route depends on whether the film needs processing, scanning or printing. Identify the film label if possible and review our E6 and transparency information. Routine film orders are usually accepted without an appointment, but rare formats should be checked first. If anything is unusual, use our contact page before travelling.
Could your team recover footage from a damaged or broken videotape, and how will the digital files be supplied?
Our team deals with this type of request regularly. A damaged cassette needs inspection before playback because forcing it can worsen the problem. Describe the damage and review our video tape repair service. Digital files are supplied through the agreed storage or delivery method for the selected service. We avoid unnecessary changes to original photographs, film and recordings.
