FAQs
Will I get my photos, slides and negatives back?
Yes. Everything comes back in its own box by Royal Mail, tracked. You can also collect it in person in Kenton, Harrow HA3, by appointment.
Can I see them on my TV or phone?
Yes. Your photos can be viewed on compatible phones, tablets, computers and TVs. A Premium Kingston 64GB USB 3.2 Stick is optional, £9.99. A USB socket alone isn’t enough for a TV to play your photos, so please check your TV’s manual before ordering.
Do I need to take my photos out of their envelopes?
No. Keep each bundle together and write a name or year on it if you like. We use the label for the folder name, included in the price.
What size photos can you scan?
Prints of any age up to A4, colour and black and white. Anything larger than A4, we quote for first.
Is 600dpi good enough for photos?
We scan standard printed photos at 600dpi, suitable for everyday viewing, sharing and many reprints. Enlargement quality also depends on the original photograph. Our guide 300dpi vs 600dpi explains why.
Can you bring back faded colour?
We adjust colour and brightness where suitable, which often brings faded photos, slides and negatives closer to their original colour. Results depend on the condition of the originals. Our guide why old photos turn pink or orange explains what happens.
Do you charge for blank slides or negative frames?
No. Blank slides and negative frames aren’t charged, and we list them in your order breakdown.
How do I know if I have 35mm negatives?
They are strips of brown or orange film (grey for black and white) about 3.5 cm wide, with small holes along both edges, usually in a paper wallet with the prints.
Do you scan black and white slides and negatives?
Yes. Infrared dust removal can’t be used on traditional black and white film, because the silver in the film blocks it, so we clean these carefully by hand instead. Newer ‘C-41’ black and white film can use it, and it does.
Do you scan Kodachrome slides?
Yes. Many labs switch infrared dust removal off for Kodachrome. We tested it on gentle settings and it works well, so your Kodachromes get it too.
Do you scan other film sizes?
Yes. 120, 127 and 110 film, negatives or slides, including superslides, are all £1 a frame. Just pop them in the box with the rest and we’ll add them to your final bill. For anything unusual, send us a photo on WhatsApp and we’ll tell you honestly whether we can scan it.
I have a large order. How long will it take?
Our current processing time is 5–7 working days from when your items arrive at our studio. Please allow additional time for return delivery. Our guide How many photos are in a shoebox? helps you estimate a photo collection.
