I'm new to film photography and just want digital copies of my photos. What should I do?

Choose our Develop and Scan service at standard resolution. We develop your film and send high-quality digital scans straight to your email, ready to view and share on any device. It is the simplest option and covers what most people need.

Can I get prints made from scans afterward?

Yes. You can order prints from your scans at any time through our print portal, from classic 4x6 prints to large fine art prints, printed in-house at our Sydney and Wollongong labs.

How do I receive my scan files?

We upload your scans to the cloud and send a download link to your email. If you have a lot of film or prefer a physical copy, we can save the files to a USB drive. Bring your own USB or purchase one from us in store.

What should I do if I have specific requirements for my scans?

If you have custom requests or need your scans matched to a reference, let us know before we start your job and our technicians will tailor the scans to your specifications.
