Photo service FAQs for Castelnau customers
Can I ask your team to make photo prints from a USB drive or memory card, and do I normally need to order in advance?
You can ask us to assess the job before committing to an option. Keep the original files at their full resolution and organise them into a clearly named folder where possible. See the options for digital photo printing. Standard counter orders are usually walk-in, although a large or unusual job is best discussed first. Label separate groups so the requested result is unambiguous.
Do you arrange a family portrait session, and can more than one person or look be included?
We offer this service and can explain the practical options. A booked session allows time to discuss group size, clothing, backgrounds and the style of photographs you want. View our family portrait photography. Group size, clothing changes and different looks should be agreed when arranging the session. A short description and the approximate quantity help us give useful guidance.
Can I ask your team to offer a choice of paper finish, borders and cropping, and will you confirm the price before printing?
You can ask us to assess the job before committing to an option. The available finish and border choices depend on the print size and source image.
