  4. If you require a set of prints as well, add this to your order.
  5. Let us know if you need the films returned or not.
  6. Pay with PayPal or card.
  7. Print out your order or note the order number, and put with your securely packaged films.

What film do you process?

We develop colour negative (C41), black and white negative and transparency (E6) film. Formats are 110, 35mm, 120, 220 and 5x4".

How do you process film?

We use roller transport film processors for C41 (Noritsu) and B/W (Ilford) and a rotary (Jobo) for E6.

Colour chemicals are by Tetenal, and B/W from Ilford.

Can you push / pull process?

Yes, up to 2 stops push and 1 stop pull on C41 and E6, 3 stops either way on B/W.

No extra charge for B/W push /pull

There is an extra charge of £ 2.50 for C41 & E6 for any push/pull.

Do you cross process film?

Yup, we embrace cross processing (E6 developed in C41 chemicals), and our Fuji scanner often gives amazing high contrast / high saturation results from cross pro negs – although this varies hugely from film to film, so please do your research first if you are new to cross processing and are considering it.

Do you develop pre-soaked or ‘soup’ film?

Yes, but these are done by hand so as not to contaminate our machines, so please indicate rolls very clearly if you send them to us. Please allow extra time (up to 10 working days), and an extra charge of 100% over normal dev cost.

But we do not develop Remjet coated film.

What scanner do you use?

We scan on the Fuji SP-3000, an industry standard professional machine used for roll film scanning that offers excellent results with only minor tweaks usually needed.

Can you adjust for my colour and density preferences?

Yes, just indicate on your order form and we’ll try to accommodate your needs scan wise. Or just leave blank for us to give you what we think are great looking scans.

What scan sizes do you offer?

There is a full scan size chart in pixels here (link). Equivalent print sizes are shown as a guide too.

Do you scan Xpan, sprocket rocket, or the film edges, or rebates?

Xpan and sprocket rocket, keeping all the film text and other unusual formats cannot be done on our standard scanner.

We can however scan as individual negs on our Epson 750 flatbed, an excellent scanner.

Tick the ‘irregular format’ box, and add any notes you have in the comments box. This service is a higher cost.

However, if you require as much of the film as possible, and are not bothered about a tidy edge to your images, tick the ‘zoomed out’ option.

This pulls the scan lens out as far as it will go, to just include the film edge itself. But can make the image look a little untidy, not for you if you don’t edit you images.

This is no extra cost.

What are your turnaround times and postal options?

We endeavour to upload scans back to you in 3 working days from receipt of the films. This my be slightly less or longer with quiet or busy times, although we will always notify you of any significant delays. Film will be posted back at set rates below, first class post. Or if you’re not fussed about receiving back the originals, tick the box when ordering, for us to dispose of your negs a month after your film was uploaded.

Up to 10 rolls: £ 2.50
10 -20 rolls: £ 4.50
Signed for up to 20 rolls: £ 4.75 
DPD trackable courier – up to 1kg: £ 8.00

How do I package and send film to you?

We have a whole page dedicated to that here.

How do I receive my files?

You’ll get a Dropbox link to your files. Make sure the email you provide links to your Dropbox to avoid delays.

Dropbox accounts are free to set up, and you don’t need to upgrade to the paid for versions if you regularly download your files from there and save to your back up drive, which of course we recommend you do with all your cloud files anyway.

If you like physical copies, no problem, we can put your scans onto a USB if you send in with your rolls, or provide scans to a DVD disc as well at no extra charge, instead of using Dropbox.

Why use jpeg for the standard resolution scans?

Although jpeg is a compression file format, and technically some pixels are lost upon opening and closing the file, we feel that for the size of file for our standard scans, that although they are perfectly adequate for most applications, and pretty decent sized prints, you’d be hard pressed to spot by eye any pixel loss before ‘pixellisation’ happens when zooming in anyway, due to the file size limit.

Go for the high res, and Tiff format if this issue concerns you.

Do you recycle?

We take environmental concerns seriously here at the Brighton Film Lab.

We recycle everything we can that is currently commercially possible.

Items that are taken away by our partners to be recycled include:

  • All paper
  • All cardboard
  • All plastics

Single use cameras are taken away by a photo industry supplier for re-use or recycling.

All our photo chemicals are pumped though filtering equipment to remove heavy metals so they are ready for safe disposal.

For mailing film and prints out, we use recycled / recyclable materials where possible. For new packaging this means eco friendly envelopes and boxes if possible. This also may mean you receive your items in pre used packaging.

If these materials are in good shape we see this as a good use of resources, rather than using new material, however green it’s production.
