Photo service FAQs for Mill Hill customers
Is it possible to scan developed 35mm negatives at high resolution, and will you confirm the service price first?
This can usually be handled once we have checked the source material. Bring complete negative strips where possible and avoid cutting them into individual frames. Our 35mm negative scanning guide explains the digital-file service. The film type, number of rolls and selected processing, scans or prints are confirmed before charging. Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
Can I ask your team to restore a faded, torn or creased photograph, and what usually affects the turnaround time?
You can ask us to assess the job before committing to an option. Restoration is carried out from a careful digital scan so the original can be preserved. Damage and complexity determine the work required; see our photo restoration service. Damage, missing detail, image size and the level of reconstruction determine the time required. Label separate groups so the requested result is unambiguous.
Is it possible to develop colour 35mm film with prints or scans, and what film information should I provide?
This can usually be handled once we have checked the source material. You can choose processing with digital scans, photographic prints or a combination of both. The current choices are listed on our 35mm colour film page. Keep the film packaging and labels where possible, as they help identify the process and format. Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
Can I ask your team to transfer VHS tapes to convenient digital files, and how do I choose the most useful digital format?
You can ask us to assess the job before committing to an option. VHS recordings can be transferred to supported digital formats for easier viewing and storage. Label each cassette and read our VHS transfer information. We can explain file compatibility and storage choices after identifying the source format. Label separate groups so the requested result is unambiguous.
Is it possible to develop 120 medium-format film, and how are the scans or prints supplied?
This can usually be handled once we have checked the source material. We handle supported 120 colour and black-and-white films with scan and print choices. Keep exposed rolls sealed and see our 120 film developing information. 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 scan 8mm, 9.5mm or 16mm cine film, and can several tapes or reels share one order?
You can ask us to assess the job before committing to an option. Cine film is assessed by gauge, reel length and condition before scanning to digital files. See the available formats on our cine film transfer page. Multiple tapes or reels can share an order when numbering and labels make the sequence clear. Label separate groups so the requested result is unambiguous.
Is it possible to help with E6 slide film and transparency services, and what usually affects the turnaround time?
This can usually be handled once we have checked the source material. The correct route depends on whether the film needs processing, scanning or printing. Identify the film label if possible and review our E6 and transparency information. Film type, laboratory process, quantity and requested output affect the completion time. Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
