We run a number of developers in our darkroom some of which are film specific.  As a rule most films will be developed using the amazing developers by BelliniFoto or another by Adox or Ilford, maybe even one of our own developers such as Pyrocat-HD!

Pushing films….yes we do this, usually as a matter of course with no extra fee….however, pushing of more than two stops  (three stops with T-Grain films) that need a significant increase in development times for one film will incur a surcharge…inappropriate pushing of films usually also cause a reduction in quality for which we cannot be held accountable….if unsure, please consult with us before shooting If pushing films one stop why not ask us to use the magnificent Bellini Duo-Step (Diafine) developer?

The HS-1800 will provide you with Jpg files that are compressed at approximately 1.3 to 2.2 megabytes…to decompress them and get the full fat files you will need to open them up in photo editing software such as Photoshop, Lightroom or Hasselblad Phocus (it’s free!) etc and the files will expand in size up to 3x before you even edit them!

The 16bit Tiff files from this marvellous scanner for our basic service level are not compressed, they come in at a pretty huge 32 megabytes approximately….that’s a great result for a great price.

We also offer even bigger scans should you want them, you will find that product listed too!

If you’re a bit of a geek or just love to know how things work then you can read more about that and scanning details and resolutions on our little blog HERE….when there you can also find out how to carry out some basic optimisation your files

Please be aware that the postage charged at checkout is to cover the return post for your negatives…negatives are precious look after them!
