Photo service FAQs for Eltham customers
Do you improve colour and contrast in an old photograph, and what usually affects the turnaround time?
We offer this service and can explain the practical options. 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. A short description and the approximate quantity help us give useful guidance.
Can I ask your team to process black-and-white film, and how should old or unidentified film be handled?
You can ask us to assess the job before committing to an option. 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. Label separate groups so the requested result is unambiguous.
Do you copy Video8, Hi8 or MiniDV camcorder tapes, and how do I choose the most useful digital format?
We offer this service and can explain the practical options. 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. A short description and the approximate quantity help us give useful guidance.
Can I ask your team to process or scan APS Advantix film, and do I need to book before bringing the film?
You can ask us to assess the job before committing to an option. 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. Label separate groups so the requested result is unambiguous.
Do you apply AI enhancement to scanned cine film, and can several tapes or reels share one order?
We offer this service and can explain the practical options. AI enhancement is an optional stage for suitable 8mm, 9.5mm and 16mm scans, intended to improve viewing while respecting the original footage. Read about AI cine enhancement. Multiple tapes or reels can share an order when numbering and labels make the sequence clear. A short description and the approximate quantity help us give useful guidance.
Can I ask your team to take compliant UK passport photographs, and will you confirm the price before taking the photograph?
You can ask us to assess the job before committing to an option. We prepare the photograph for the relevant UK application route and can supply the required printed or digital result. See our UK passport photo service. We confirm the document type, required output and price before taking the final photograph. Label separate groups so the requested result is unambiguous.
Do you provide photo gift vouchers or printed photo gifts, and can you explain any redemption conditions?
