Photo service FAQs for Woolwich customers
Could your team restore a faded, torn or creased photograph, and how do I decide how much correction is appropriate?
Our team deals with this type of request regularly. 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. We avoid unnecessary changes to original photographs, film and recordings.
Can you develop colour 35mm film with prints or scans, and how are the scans or prints supplied?
Yes, this can be arranged. 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. Scans can be supplied in the agreed file format and prints can be added where the service allows. If anything is unusual, use our contact page before travelling.
Could your team transfer VHS tapes to convenient digital files, and can several tapes or reels share one order?
Our team deals with this type of request regularly. 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. We avoid unnecessary changes to original photographs, film and recordings.
Can you develop 120 medium-format film, and what usually affects the turnaround time?
Yes, this can be arranged. 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. Film type, laboratory process, quantity and requested output affect the completion time. If anything is unusual, use our contact page before travelling.
Could your team scan 8mm, 9.5mm or 16mm cine film, and what if the recording is damaged or unlabelled?
Our team deals with this type of request regularly. 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. We avoid unnecessary changes to original photographs, film and recordings.
Can you help with E6 slide film and transparency services, and how do I choose between prints and scans?
Yes, this can be arranged. 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. We can explain resolution, file delivery and print choices after identifying the film. If anything is unusual, use our contact page before travelling.
Could your team recover footage from a damaged or broken videotape, and do I need to arrange the transfer in advance?
Our team deals with this type of request regularly. 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. We avoid unnecessary changes to original photographs, film and recordings.
