Photo service FAQs for Deptford customers
Is it possible to scan 8mm, 9.5mm or 16mm cine film, and do I need to arrange the transfer in advance?
This can usually be handled once we have checked the source material. 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. Routine transfers can be brought to the shop, while large collections or rare formats should be discussed first. Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
Can your Highgate shop help with E6 slide film and transparency services, and how are the scans or prints supplied?
Our Highgate shop can help with this service. 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. For rare, damaged or unidentified material, contact us before bringing the whole collection.
Is it possible to recover footage from a damaged or broken videotape, and will you confirm the transfer price before starting?
This can usually be handled once we have checked the source material. A damaged cassette needs inspection before playback because forcing it can worsen the problem. Describe the damage and review our video tape repair service. Format, quantity, condition and selected output are checked before the transfer price is confirmed. Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
Can your Highgate shop prepare international passport, visa and ID photographs, and how quickly is the finished photograph normally ready?
Our Highgate shop can help with this service. 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. For rare, damaged or unidentified material, contact us before bringing the whole collection.
Is it possible to accept suitable work by post or through an online order, and what order details should I send first?
This can usually be handled once we have checked the source material. 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. Send the service required, quantity, source format, desired output and deadline before posting anything valuable. Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
Can your Highgate shop prepare passport or visa photos from an online order, and how do I identify the correct requirements?
Our Highgate shop can help with this service. Online orders need an original, unedited camera file with space around the head and shoulders. Follow the instructions on our online passport photo page. We check the selected authority and application method before preparing the photograph. For rare, damaged or unidentified material, contact us before bringing the whole collection.
Could your team make photo prints from a USB drive or memory card, and what print or digital choices are available?
Our team deals with this type of request regularly. 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. The available output depends on the product, so specify whether you need prints, files or both. We avoid unnecessary changes to original photographs, film and recordings.
