Turnaround Time
Mailed-in orders of C41 film to be processed and scanned are typically complete within 3 business days after being received at the lab. Other process types and orders dropped off at our Park Ave or Branciforte stores have longer turnaround times. please click here for more detailed info about turnaround times.
Scanned By Hand
The way your film is scanned has a major effect on the final look of your photos. Our film techs are trained to use our Noritsu scanners to get the best possible results from your film. When color correcting film scans, the subject always gets priority with a focus on pleasing skin tones and a good balance of light and dark tones. If you have a particular aesthetic you are looking for or any special instructions for your roll, please let us know!
​
Resolution
to spare
We offer two options for scan resolution at Bay Photo:​​
-
Standard Scans (~2000x3000)
-
Large Scans (~4000x6000)
​
Standard Scans are a great all around option that offers good detail and finer grain structure to print up to 11x14, and Large Scans offer the highest detail for important projects and the ability to make much larger prints. Feel free to ask us any questions you may have about scan resolution when you drop off your film.
