Photo service FAQs for Brixton North customers
Can I ask your team to arrange studio photography for pets, teenagers or special occasions, and how do I choose the right type of session?
You can ask us to assess the job before committing to an option. The session plan depends on the subject, group size and style of photographs required. Explore the different choices on our Highgate photography studio page. We can compare session length, setting and image requirements before a booking is made. Label separate groups so the requested result is unambiguous.
Is it possible to digitise mounted slides and transparencies, and how are the scans or prints supplied?
This can usually be handled once we have checked the source material. Slides can be scanned for convenient viewing, archiving and new prints. Keep them in their boxes or sleeves and review our slide scanning service. Scans can be supplied in the agreed file format and prints can be added where the service allows. Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
Can I ask your team to improve colour and contrast in an old photograph, and can several photographs be assessed together?
You can ask us to assess the job before committing to an option. Fading, colour casts and low contrast can often be reduced without changing the character of the picture. Review the results shown in our photo restoration examples. Several originals can be assessed together when each image and requested result is clearly identified. Label separate groups so the requested result is unambiguous.
Is it possible to process black-and-white film, and what usually affects the turnaround time?
This can usually be handled once we have checked the source material. Black-and-white film needs the correct processing route and may take longer than standard colour film. Check the formats and choices on our black-and-white film page. Film type, laboratory process, quantity and requested output affect the completion time. Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
Can I ask your team to copy Video8, Hi8 or MiniDV camcorder tapes, and what if the recording is damaged or unlabelled?
You can ask us to assess the job before committing to an option. Camcorder formats look similar but need different playback equipment, so keep any labels and do not force a damaged cassette. Our video transfer guide lists the main formats. Do not attempt playback if a cassette is mouldy, broken or jammed; describe the condition before bringing it in. Label separate groups so the requested result is unambiguous.
Is it possible to process or scan APS Advantix film, and how do I choose between prints and scans?
This can usually be handled once we have checked the source material. APS cartridges can require different handling depending on whether the film is exposed, developed or still inside the cartridge. Our APS Advantix service page explains the options. We can explain resolution, file delivery and print choices after identifying the film. Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
Can I ask your team to apply AI enhancement to scanned cine film, and do I need to arrange the transfer in advance?
You can ask us to assess the job before committing to an option. AI enhancement is an optional stage for suitable 8mm, 9.5mm and 16mm scans, intended to improve viewing while respecting the original footage. Read about AI cine enhancement. Routine transfers can be brought to the shop, while large collections or rare formats should be discussed first. Label separate groups so the requested result is unambiguous.
