Photo service FAQs for Earls Court customers
What is involved when you scan existing photographs as digital files, and how do I choose the most suitable size and finish?
The process starts with checking the material and the result you need. Clean, flat originals normally give the best scans, but delicate photographs should be left untouched for us to assess. Ask about scanning and printing from existing photographs. We can compare practical size, crop, border and finish choices before you decide. Where several choices exist, we explain the trade-offs clearly.
Can you arrange studio photography for pets, teenagers or special occasions, and how are the selected photographs supplied?
Yes, this can be arranged. The session plan depends on the subject, group size and style of photographs required. Explore the different choices on our Highgate photography studio page. The selected photographs and any included retouching are supplied according to the booked package. If anything is unusual, use our contact page before travelling.
What is involved when you digitise mounted slides and transparencies, and can several rolls be included in one order?
The process starts with checking the material and the result you need. Slides can be scanned for convenient viewing, archiving and new prints. Keep them in their boxes or sleeves and review our slide scanning service. Multiple rolls can share an order when each roll and its requested output are clearly labelled. Where several choices exist, we explain the trade-offs clearly.
Can you improve colour and contrast in an old photograph, and what usually affects the turnaround time?
Yes, this can be arranged. Fading, colour casts and low contrast can often be reduced without changing the character of the picture. Review the results shown in our photo restoration examples. Damage, missing detail, image size and the level of reconstruction determine the time required. If anything is unusual, use our contact page before travelling.
What is involved when you process black-and-white film, and how should old or unidentified film be handled?
The process starts with checking the material and the result you need. Black-and-white film needs the correct processing route and may take longer than standard colour film. Check the formats and choices on our black-and-white film page. Do not pull film from a cartridge or clean old negatives; keep everything protected for assessment. Where several choices exist, we explain the trade-offs clearly.
Can you copy Video8, Hi8 or MiniDV camcorder tapes, and how do I choose the most useful digital format?
Yes, this can be arranged. Camcorder formats look similar but need different playback equipment, so keep any labels and do not force a damaged cassette. Our video transfer guide lists the main formats. We can explain file compatibility and storage choices after identifying the source format. If anything is unusual, use our contact page before travelling.
What is involved when you process or scan APS Advantix film, and do I need to book before bringing the film?
The process starts with checking the material and the result you need. APS cartridges can require different handling depending on whether the film is exposed, developed or still inside the cartridge. Our APS Advantix service page explains the options. Routine film orders are usually accepted without an appointment, but rare formats should be checked first. Where several choices exist, we explain the trade-offs clearly.
