Photo service FAQs for Pimlico customers
Could your team process black-and-white film, and do I need to book before bringing the film?
Our team deals with this type of request regularly. 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. Routine film orders are usually accepted without an appointment, but rare formats should be checked first. We avoid unnecessary changes to original photographs, film and recordings.
Can your Highgate shop copy Video8, Hi8 or MiniDV camcorder tapes, and how will the digital files be supplied?
Our Highgate shop can help with this service. 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. Digital files are supplied through the agreed storage or delivery method for the selected service. For rare, damaged or unidentified material, contact us before bringing the whole collection.
Could your team process or scan APS Advantix film, and will you confirm the service price first?
Our team deals with this type of request regularly. 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. The film type, number of rolls and selected processing, scans or prints are confirmed before charging. We avoid unnecessary changes to original photographs, film and recordings.
Can your Highgate shop apply AI enhancement to scanned cine film, and what usually affects the turnaround time?
Our Highgate shop can help with this service. 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. Running time, tape condition, format and any repair or enhancement work affect turnaround. For rare, damaged or unidentified material, contact us before bringing the whole collection.
Could your team take compliant UK passport photographs, and what application details should I bring?
Our team deals with this type of request regularly. 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. Bring the application instructions, country, document type and application route when available. We avoid unnecessary changes to original photographs, film and recordings.
Can your Highgate shop provide photo gift vouchers or printed photo gifts, and how do I choose the most suitable gift?
Our Highgate shop can help with this service. Gift choices depend on whether you want a studio experience, photographs or another printed item. Start with our studio photography gift vouchers. We can explain the practical differences between the available voucher and photo-gift choices. For rare, damaged or unidentified material, contact us before bringing the whole collection.
Could your team photograph babies and young children for passport applications, and can you supply the required printed or digital result?
Our team deals with this type of request regularly. 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. We supply the printed dimensions or digital format required for the selected application route. We avoid unnecessary changes to original photographs, film and recordings.
