We offer a processing service for C41, E6 and black and white film.

Depending on your preferences, we can scan your work on either our Frontier or Noritsu scanners.

When your processing is finished and your scans are ready, we'll upload them to our transfer service and automatically email you the link when the upload is complete.

If you live interstate, you can post your film to our secure PO box and receive SMS notifications at each step of the process.
