Photo service FAQs for City customers
Can your Highgate shop transfer VHS tapes to convenient digital files, and what usually affects the turnaround time?
Our Highgate shop can help with this service. VHS recordings can be transferred to supported digital formats for easier viewing and storage. Label each cassette and read our VHS transfer information. Running time, tape condition, format and any repair or enhancement work affect turnaround. For rare, damaged or unidentified material, contact us before bringing the whole collection.
Could your team develop 120 medium-format film, and what film information should I provide?
Our team deals with this type of request regularly. 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. Keep the film packaging and labels where possible, as they help identify the process and format. We avoid unnecessary changes to original photographs, film and recordings.
Can your Highgate shop scan 8mm, 9.5mm or 16mm cine film, and how do I choose the most useful digital format?
Our Highgate shop can help with this service. 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. We can explain file compatibility and storage choices after identifying the source format. For rare, damaged or unidentified material, contact us before bringing the whole collection.
Could your team help with E6 slide film and transparency services, and how are the scans or prints supplied?
Our team deals with this type of request regularly. 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. Scans can be supplied in the agreed file format and prints can be added where the service allows. We avoid unnecessary changes to original photographs, film and recordings.
Can your Highgate shop recover footage from a damaged or broken videotape, and can several tapes or reels share one order?
Our Highgate shop can help with this service. A damaged cassette needs inspection before playback because forcing it can worsen the problem. Describe the damage and review our video tape repair service. Multiple tapes or reels can share an order when numbering and labels make the sequence clear. For rare, damaged or unidentified material, contact us before bringing the whole collection.
Could your team prepare international passport, visa and ID photographs, and how quickly is the finished photograph normally ready?
Our team deals with this type of request regularly. Requirements vary by country, document type and application method, so bring the application instructions when available. Browse our passport, visa and ID photo services. Most standard photographs are prepared promptly, while unusual digital or international routes may need extra checks. We avoid unnecessary changes to original photographs, film and recordings.
Can your Highgate shop accept suitable work by post or through an online order, and how should irreplaceable originals be packed?
Our Highgate shop can help with this service. Some digital services can be ordered online and selected film or media work can be arranged by post after checking the details. Use our contact page before sending valuable material. Use rigid protection, waterproof outer packaging and tracked delivery for irreplaceable originals. For rare, damaged or unidentified material, contact us before bringing the whole collection.
