Photo service FAQs for Hanwell customers
Is it possible to scan 8mm, 9.5mm or 16mm cine film, and how will the digital files be supplied?
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. Digital files are supplied through the agreed storage or delivery method for the selected service. Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
Can your Highgate shop help with E6 slide film and transparency services, and can several rolls be included in one order?
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. Multiple rolls can share an order when each roll and its requested output are clearly labelled. 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 what usually affects the turnaround time?
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. Running time, tape condition, format and any repair or enhancement work affect turnaround. Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
Can your Highgate shop prepare international passport, visa and ID photographs, and what happens if the application rules have changed?
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. If official guidance has changed, we use the latest applicable requirements rather than an outdated sample. 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 how do I choose between online, postal and shop service?
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. We will explain whether the job is suitable for online ordering, post or an in-person visit. 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 do I normally need an appointment?
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. Most passport and ID photographs are handled without an appointment, subject to current opening arrangements. 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 can several files or sizes share one order?
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. Several clearly named files and print sizes can normally be included in the same order. We avoid unnecessary changes to original photographs, film and recordings.
