Photo service FAQs for The Borough customers
Could your team process black-and-white film, and how are the scans or prints supplied?
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. Scans can be supplied in the agreed file format and prints can be added where the service allows. We avoid unnecessary changes to original photographs, film and recordings.
Can your Highgate shop copy Video8, Hi8 or MiniDV camcorder tapes, and can several tapes or reels share one order?
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. Multiple tapes or reels can share an order when numbering and labels make the sequence clear. For rare, damaged or unidentified material, contact us before bringing the whole collection.
Could your team process or scan APS Advantix film, and what usually affects the turnaround time?
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. Film type, laboratory process, quantity and requested output affect the completion time. We avoid unnecessary changes to original photographs, film and recordings.
Can your Highgate shop apply AI enhancement to scanned cine film, and what if the recording is damaged or unlabelled?
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. Do not attempt playback if a cassette is mouldy, broken or jammed; describe the condition before bringing it in. For rare, damaged or unidentified material, contact us before bringing the whole collection.
Could your team take compliant UK passport photographs, and how do I identify the correct requirements?
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. We check the selected authority and application method before preparing the photograph. We avoid unnecessary changes to original photographs, film and recordings.
Can your Highgate shop provide photo gift vouchers or printed photo gifts, and do I need to order in advance?
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. Ordering ahead is sensible for a deadline or personalised item, even when a standard option is available. 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 several family applications be handled together?
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. Family applications can be handled together, but each person and document type is checked separately. We avoid unnecessary changes to original photographs, film and recordings.
