No. Medium JPEG orders—with or without 6 × 4 prints—printed-photographs-only and develop-only orders can be ready in one hour. High JPEG and all TIFF services take two hours. Larger or unusual orders may need longer, and we will confirm this when the film is accepted.
Which film can you process quickly?
We offer fast C-41 colour and black-and-white developing for 35mm and 120 film. Disposable cameras are welcome too; bring the complete camera to us.
Do I need to order online first?
No. Walk-in customers can choose and pay at the counter. You may still order online when that is more convenient, including when one person pays and someone else drops off the film.
What digital images / scans can I choose?
Choose Medium or High JPEG, Medium 16-bit TIFF or High 16-bit TIFF. Medium JPEG is a one-hour option whether or not you add prints. High JPEG and all TIFF services take two hours. Printed-photographs-only and develop-only orders can also be ready in one hour.
Can I have printed photographs quickly?
