What we offer.
35mm developing and scanning. C-41 and black and white. Four service types, honest specs, no surprises.
Develop Only
from $12
Development by hand. Negatives returned in archival sleeves, ready for your own scanner or a future scan order.
Every roll is developed personally — consistent temperature, consistent agitation, consistent results. C-41 color negative, standard black and white, or custom black and white chemistry. Negatives are cleaned and sleeved after processing.
This is the right option if you scan your own film, shoot high volume and prefer to be selective about what you scan, or just want your negatives processed and archived correctly.
B&W custom development means exactly that — if you want to choose a specific developer, tell me at submission and I'll accommodate it.
Develop + Auto Scan
from $19
Development plus a fast, honest scan. One density setting, whole roll. No individual corrections, no manual spotting.
Auto scanning is designed to be fast and affordable, not invisible. Here is exactly what it means: I select one representative frame on the roll, set the scanner density to that frame, and scan the rest of the roll at those settings. No per-frame corrections. No B&W dust removal. Files delivered as TIFF or high-quality JPEG.
If your roll has consistent lighting — daylight street photography, portraits in a controlled environment, landscapes — auto scans will be clean and ready to edit. If your roll mixes bright sun and deep shadow across different frames, expect variation. Most photographers who shoot consistently and edit their own work find auto scans excellent value.
This is not a lesser scan. It is a different scan — designed for photographers who know what they need.
Scan Only
from $10
Already developed negatives, scanned to auto or premium spec.
If you developed your own film or have a drawer full of old negatives, scan-only orders work exactly like the scan portion of any other order — auto or premium, same specifications, same turnaround. Send your negatives in archival sleeves with your roll count and scan preference.
Note: negatives must be already developed and sleeved. I do not process undeveloped film without the development fee.
