Photo service FAQs for Tottenham South customers
What is involved when you scan existing photographs as digital files, and will you confirm the price before printing?
The process starts with checking the material and the result you need. Clean, flat originals normally give the best scans, but delicate photographs should be left untouched for us to assess. Ask about scanning and printing from existing photographs. We will confirm the selected size, quantity, finish and price before printing. Where several choices exist, we explain the trade-offs clearly.
Can you arrange studio photography for pets, teenagers or special occasions, and how should I prepare for the photographs?
Yes, this can be arranged. The session plan depends on the subject, group size and style of photographs required. Explore the different choices on our Highgate photography studio page. Rest well, avoid last-minute appearance changes and bring clothing that suits the intended use. If anything is unusual, use our contact page before travelling.
What is involved when you digitise mounted slides and transparencies, and what film information should I provide?
The process starts with checking the material and the result you need. Slides can be scanned for convenient viewing, archiving and new prints. Keep them in their boxes or sleeves and review our slide scanning service. Keep the film packaging and labels where possible, as they help identify the process and format. Where several choices exist, we explain the trade-offs clearly.
Can you improve colour and contrast in an old photograph, and do I need to book an assessment?
Yes, this can be arranged. 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. A preliminary enquiry can be made online, while complex damage may need an in-person assessment. If anything is unusual, use our contact page before travelling.
What is involved when you process black-and-white film, and how are the scans or prints supplied?
The process starts with checking the material and the result you need. 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. Where several choices exist, we explain the trade-offs clearly.
Can you copy Video8, Hi8 or MiniDV camcorder tapes, and will you confirm the transfer price before starting?
Yes, this can be arranged. 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. Format, quantity, condition and selected output are checked before the transfer price is confirmed. If anything is unusual, use our contact page before travelling.
What is involved when you process or scan APS Advantix film, and what usually affects the turnaround time?
The process starts with checking the material and the result you need. 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. Where several choices exist, we explain the trade-offs clearly.
