Developing and Scanning (120 film)

Developing and scanning for 120 colour negative and black and white film, with each roll handled carefully through the developing, fixing/blix, washing, and drying + stabilising stages to keep the results clean, consistent, and reliable.

Colour negative film is processed in C-41 chemistry under standard processing guidelines. Colour inversion and basic colour correction are included, so your scans are delivered ready to view, share, and use.

Black and white film is currently processed using a Caffenol-based development process, known for its organic tonality, gentle contrast, visible character, and slightly vintage feel. Kodak XTOL development is planned to be added soon.

All common 120 formats can be scanned, including 6x4.5, 6x6, 6x7, 6x8, 6x9, and panoramic formats up to 6x17.

High Resolution scans are done at 3200 DPI, with more attention given to detail, colour, and overall image quality. This option is best for archiving, editing, cropping, or making prints. You will receive a .zip file containing High Res PNG files and compressed JPEGs. Please request separately if you would like your scans delivered in any other format.

Lower Resolution scans are done at 1600 DPI. This option is perfect for social media, sharing with friends, viewing on your phone, and keeping a digital copy of your negatives without large file sizes. Lower resolution scans are delivered in an easy-to-share JPEG format.
