Photo service FAQs for Winchmore Hill customers
Can your Highgate shop turn a favourite photograph into a canvas print, and can several files or sizes share one order?
Our Highgate shop can help with this service. Canvas works best from a clear, high-resolution image with enough space near the edges for wrapping. View our canvas printing options before ordering. Several clearly named files and print sizes can normally be included in the same order. For rare, damaged or unidentified material, contact us before bringing the whole collection.
Is it possible to take graduation portraits for individuals and families, and what affects the time needed for the finished images?
This can usually be handled once we have checked the source material. Graduation sessions can include individual portraits and photographs with family or friends. Clothing and available gown choices are covered on our graduation photography page. Selection, retouching requirements and the number of finished photographs affect delivery time. Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
Can your Highgate shop scan developed 35mm negatives at high resolution, and how should old or unidentified film be handled?
Our Highgate shop can help with this service. Bring complete negative strips where possible and avoid cutting them into individual frames. Our 35mm negative scanning guide explains the digital-file service. Do not pull film from a cartridge or clean old negatives; keep everything protected for assessment. For rare, damaged or unidentified material, contact us before bringing the whole collection.
Is it possible to restore a faded, torn or creased photograph, and how do I decide how much correction is appropriate?
This can usually be handled once we have checked the source material. Restoration is carried out from a careful digital scan so the original can be preserved. Damage and complexity determine the work required; see our photo restoration service. We discuss whether the aim is gentle repair or a more extensive reconstruction before editing starts. Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
Can your Highgate shop develop colour 35mm film with prints or scans, and do I need to book before bringing the film?
Our Highgate shop can help with this service. 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. For rare, damaged or unidentified material, contact us before bringing the whole collection.
Is it possible to transfer VHS tapes to convenient digital files, and can several tapes or reels share one order?
This can usually be handled once we have checked the source material. 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. Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
Can your Highgate shop develop 120 medium-format film, and will you confirm the service price first?
Our Highgate shop can help with this service. 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. For rare, damaged or unidentified material, contact us before bringing the whole collection.
