If you're shopping around make sure to read "the fine print".  Many services have service levels that make their prices look cheap but those prices fail to include many necessary services and will leave you disappointed or stuck paying more than you expected.  Whichever service you choose, make sure you understand what you're getting and how much you're paying.  We've worked hard to keep our pricing simple but that's not true of every service provider.

If you have additional needs that require special settings, just let us know prior to your order and we will try and accommodate those needs.

Please note we do not scan parts of film strips, each strip must be scanned in full. Each strip must also have a minimum of 2 images on the strip. Single images can be scanned but not using our bulk system, We can also not scan unprocessed film. We scan all image strips sent to us.

Important notes:

• We do not scan parts of film strips, each strip must be scanned in full.

• Each strip must have a minimum of 2 images on the strip. Single images can be scanned but not using our bulk system. Single cut images are scanned on different scanners which require more time so are charged higher per image. Please email or call to discuss single images. Any single cut image sent in with incorrect service ordered (i.e. part of a bulk order) will unfortunately be returned un-scanned.

• We can scan Negatives, Positives and Monochrome 35mm negatives.

• Incorrect film - It is your responsibility to check that the films you send in to us are the ones you have ordered for scanning, variations with film will be charged/refunded according to our website prices for the correct film type. If in doubt please check our film guide page.

• Processed Film- Your film must have been processed before we can scan it, we do not carry out dark room processing.

• We do not pre-count images, we scan all images sent to us, our charges for 35mm negative scanning are per image and not per strip.

• Image order - Due to the way we scan slides and negatives we cannot  guarantee any pre-set orders of images, we will do all we can to stick to an obvious order however there are many influences that can change this, for example different types/sizes of slides may need to go through different scanners, some images may need to be scanned again due to dirt levels or scanning incorrectly. Also some slides may need to have their mounts repaired or replaced due to being too weak to go through our scanners. We advise that the best way to put images in a particular order is to rename/re-order the images in digital format when you receive them back from us, It's a lot easier when you can see the full image on your PC screen.

• Returned order of originals - As noted above we use bulk process scanners so cannot guarantee that we can keep your films is any particular order for their return, we will of course do the best we can to keep to any particular requests however with the way our scanners operate it may not always be possible.

• Any variations on quantities sent in for scanning will be either invoiced or refunded before shipping.

• Please remove any stickers or mounts attached to the negatives - additional fees may be charged to remove these. Films should be in sleeves or loose.

• Images and folders are automatically numbered using our scanner system. If you wish for images or folders to be renamed we advise that you carry out this yourself once you receive your images back as you know the images better than anybody so can correctly name them, we can do this for you but due to the additional time it takes and the possibility of errors we do not like to take on this task, if we are requested to change folder names there will be a surcharge per folder or image and it must be pre-arranged and paid for prior to any orders. Simplest thing to do is to leave the numbering to our system. We will label envelopes with numbers which correspond with folder numbers on the disc so you can cross reference any titles.

• Infrared (IR) images can also be scanned and you will receive the image in IR without any attempt to colour correct.

• Some negatives have white card/paper labels attached to one side of the negative strip, these must be removed prior to sending to us.

• If you have any specific requirements for your images, i.e. they need to be a certain file size or dedicated colours then we always recommend you use our free trial service before sending any orders. This way we know exactly how you want your scans and you know exactly what you are getting as making changes after an order has been processed is not possible.

• * DX code - Many films DX code can not be read due to many factors such as incorrect cutting, dirty film, incompatible format. We will use the DX code image ID where possible but when not available images will be numbered automatically as scanned by our scanners.

• Dirty Film - We avoid touching any film or negative images, we use air blowers to remove surface dust but if the slides are dirty or sticky we can not remove this and it may be visible on the scans. We use top of the range scanners and digital ice software to reduce the amount of dust/scratch marks on the digital image but we can not 100% guarantee that all marks will be removed, basically the better quality your originals the better results you will get, do remember that film is static and attracts dust. Monochrome images tend to be slightly worse for this effect due to the digital ice software no being available for monochrome images. Most of colour images come our without any noticeable marks, monochrome usually come of good too. We can attempt to remove this using our Photo Restore Service.
