Photo service FAQs for Whitechapel customers
Can I ask your team to develop colour 35mm film with prints or scans, and do I need to book before bringing the film?
You can ask us to assess the job before committing to an option. You can choose processing with digital scans, photographic prints or a combination of both. The current choices are listed on our 35mm colour film page. Routine film orders are usually accepted without an appointment, but rare formats should be checked first. Label separate groups so the requested result is unambiguous.
Do you transfer VHS tapes to convenient digital files, and can several tapes or reels share one order?
We offer this service and can explain the practical options. VHS recordings can be transferred to supported digital formats for easier viewing and storage. Label each cassette and read our VHS transfer information. Multiple tapes or reels can share an order when numbering and labels make the sequence clear. A short description and the approximate quantity help us give useful guidance.
Can I ask your team to develop 120 medium-format film, and will you confirm the service price first?
You can ask us to assess the job before committing to an option. We handle supported 120 colour and black-and-white films with scan and print choices. Keep exposed rolls sealed and see our 120 film developing information. The film type, number of rolls and selected processing, scans or prints are confirmed before charging. Label separate groups so the requested result is unambiguous.
Do you scan 8mm, 9.5mm or 16mm cine film, and what if the recording is damaged or unlabelled?
We offer this service and can explain the practical options. 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. Do not attempt playback if a cassette is mouldy, broken or jammed; describe the condition before bringing it in. A short description and the approximate quantity help us give useful guidance.
Can I ask your team to help with E6 slide film and transparency services, and what film information should I provide?
You can ask us to assess the job before committing to an option. 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. Keep the film packaging and labels where possible, as they help identify the process and format. Label separate groups so the requested result is unambiguous.
Do you recover footage from a damaged or broken videotape, and do I need to arrange the transfer in advance?
We offer this service and can explain the practical options. A damaged cassette needs inspection before playback because forcing it can worsen the problem. Describe the damage and review our video tape repair service. Routine transfers can be brought to the shop, while large collections or rare formats should be discussed first. A short description and the approximate quantity help us give useful guidance.
Can I ask your team to prepare international passport, visa and ID photographs, and can you supply the required printed or digital result?
You can ask us to assess the job before committing to an option. Requirements vary by country, document type and application method, so bring the application instructions when available. Browse our passport, visa and ID photo services. We supply the printed dimensions or digital format required for the selected application route. Label separate groups so the requested result is unambiguous.
