Photo service FAQs for Bermondsey South customers
Can you digitise mounted slides and transparencies, and how are the scans or prints supplied?
Yes, this can be arranged. 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. If anything is unusual, use our contact page before travelling.
Could your team improve colour and contrast in an old photograph, and can several photographs be assessed together?
Our team deals with this type of request regularly. 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. We avoid unnecessary changes to original photographs, film and recordings.
Can you process black-and-white film, and what usually affects the turnaround time?
Yes, this can be arranged. 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. If anything is unusual, use our contact page before travelling.
Could your team copy Video8, Hi8 or MiniDV camcorder tapes, and what if the recording is damaged or unlabelled?
Our team deals with this type of request regularly. 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. We avoid unnecessary changes to original photographs, film and recordings.
Can you process or scan APS Advantix film, and how do I choose between prints and scans?
Yes, this can be arranged. 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. If anything is unusual, use our contact page before travelling.
Could your team apply AI enhancement to scanned cine film, and do I need to arrange the transfer in advance?
Our team deals with this type of request regularly. 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. We avoid unnecessary changes to original photographs, film and recordings.
Can you take compliant UK passport photographs, and can several family applications be handled together?
Yes, this can be arranged. We prepare the photograph for the relevant UK application route and can supply the required printed or digital result. See our UK passport photo service. Family applications can be handled together, but each person and document type is checked separately. If anything is unusual, use our contact page before travelling.
