Photo service FAQs for Kidbrooke customers
What is involved when you copy Video8, Hi8 or MiniDV camcorder tapes, and do I need to arrange the transfer in advance?
The process starts with checking the material and the result you need. 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. Routine transfers can be brought to the shop, while large collections or rare formats should be discussed first. Where several choices exist, we explain the trade-offs clearly.
Do you process or scan APS Advantix film, and can several rolls be included in one order?
We offer this service and can explain the practical options. 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. Multiple rolls can share an order when each roll and its requested output are clearly labelled. A short description and the approximate quantity help us give useful guidance.
What is involved when you apply AI enhancement to scanned cine film, and will you confirm the transfer price before starting?
The process starts with checking the material and the result you need. 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. Format, quantity, condition and selected output are checked before the transfer price is confirmed. Where several choices exist, we explain the trade-offs clearly.
Do you take compliant UK passport photographs, and what happens if the application rules have changed?
We offer this service and can explain the practical options. 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. If official guidance has changed, we use the latest applicable requirements rather than an outdated sample. A short description and the approximate quantity help us give useful guidance.
What is involved when you provide photo gift vouchers or printed photo gifts, and what information should I provide?
The process starts with checking the material and the result you need. Gift choices depend on whether you want a studio experience, photographs or another printed item. Start with our studio photography gift vouchers. Tell us the occasion, intended recipient and whether you want a photography experience or printed item. Where several choices exist, we explain the trade-offs clearly.
Do you photograph babies and young children for passport applications, and do I normally need an appointment?
We offer this service and can explain the practical options. Baby photographs need patience as well as the correct background, pose and dimensions for the application. Our baby passport photo page explains how we help. Most passport and ID photographs are handled without an appointment, subject to current opening arrangements. A short description and the approximate quantity help us give useful guidance.
Can I ask your team to print photographs directly from a phone or camera, and what print or digital choices are available?
You can ask us to assess the job before committing to an option. Use the highest-quality original image rather than a screenshot or social-media copy. Our photo printing guide explains the main print and enlargement choices. The available output depends on the product, so specify whether you need prints, files or both. Label separate groups so the requested result is unambiguous.
