How do I know what type of 35mm film I have?
It will usually say on the 35mm film canister (or box if you still have it!)
You could also look up the film in our store by searching this page: All Film and checking its specifications.
The most common ones are colour C-41 which is the ‘standard’ colour negative film, and black and white (B&W).
If you have any concerns of questions about your 35mm film developing then just drop a line to our live chat – or email [email protected] – and we’ll quickly help you to the right choice.
How does the process work?
What are the scanning options?
We offer four resolution options for 35mm scanning with our Noritsu scanners (Fuji Frontier scans are available on request):
| Scan type | Resolution | File Size | File Type |
| Low Res | 1512 x 1002 pixels | <1MB | JPEG |
| Standard | 3024 x 2005 pixels | 4-7 MB | JPEG |
| Premium | 6048 x 4011 pixels | 15-30 MB | JPEG |
| Premium TIFF | 6048 x 4011 pixels | 70+ MB | TIFF |
Low Res --> Best for social media / photo albums!
Low Res scans are perfect for printing or displaying 6×4 inches – they will also work well on social media or website where you need to keep loading speeds fast. EXAMPLE FILE
Standard --> Best for personal websites / zines / projects!
Standard scans will be absolutely fine for posting on social media, personal websites, emailing to friends/family, and for making prints up to size A4. EXAMPLE FILE
Premium --> Best for exhibits / large prints!
Premium scans are bigger and can also be used for posting on websites that can accept larger files (and won’t simply compress that back down like Instagram or Facebook) – and they can make prints up to size A3. EXAMPLE FILE
Premium TIFF --> Best for home editors and professional display!
Premium TIFF scans are much bigger file sizes, so prepare for a longer download time and more computer memory needed! The bonus of this is that they contain much more information within the same number of pixels as the Premium JPEG scans, so you can edit them yourself (in Photoshop or similar) and get much better results with strong edits. EXAMPLE FILE
TIFF is a ‘lossless’ format, so hasn’t had any compression applied by software before arriving in your inbox. It also means that even though the pixel resolution is the same as the Premium scan, you should be able to print slightly larger without loss of meaningful detail – up to size A2.
What are the editing packages?
After we have scanned your 35mm negatives in our scanners there are a couple of steps to make your photos perfect. Our goal is always to present your scans just as you saw the shot through the viewfinder – but if you are comfortable with post-processing software then you may wish to go for the ‘Correct & Rotate’ package to do the work yourself.
You can quickly compare the differences in the table below.
If you are looking to compare with other labs then please note that unless they have a post-scanning editing service then they will usually perform the actions ‘Within the Scanner’ but no further.
| Within the Scanner | Correct and Rotate | Professional Editing Package | |
| Colour Correction | Yes (Simple) | Yes (Advanced) | Yes (Advanced) |
| Contrast Correction | Yes (Simple) | Yes (Advanced) | Yes (Advanced) |
| Exposure Correction | Yes (Simple) | Yes (Advanced) | Yes (Advanced) |
| Consistency Across Roll | – | Yes | Yes |
| Rotation | – | Yes | Yes |
| Crop to Frame | – | Yes | Yes |
| Dust Removal | – | – | Yes |
| Spot Removal | – | – | Yes |
| Each Frame Optimised | – | – | Yes |
| Perfect for Printing | – | – | Yes |
How do I choose prints?
When the team have perfected your scans then you’ll get an email inviting you to view them in the ‘My Photos’ area of your customer account.
You will be able to view and download all your images. You will also be able to select your favourites to print!
Simply click on all the images that you’d like to print, select size – quantity – finish, and add to your cart. See below for a simple illustration of the process.
The images will be sent back with your 35mm negatives. For more information head here
