Black & White film developed in house
Here’s what happens from placing your order to getting your scans back.
Choose your developing service, scan size and any extras you want, then complete your order online.
Put your film somewhere secure and include your order number inside so we can match everything up when it arrives.
Post your film to the Leeds lab, bring it in yourself or use one of our drop off locations.
Once we’ve opened your parcel, checked the order and booked your film into the lab, we’ll send you an Order Received email.
We look after your order through developing, scanning and checking. When it’s ready, we’ll send your scans digitally.
A delivery notification from Royal Mail or your courier means your parcel has reached us. Your Order Received email means we’ve physically opened it, matched your films to your order and booked everything into the lab.
Your film passes through several stages before the finished scans reach you.
We develop C41 colour and black and white film here in Leeds. E6 slide and ECN-2 cinema film are processed by our partner lab. You still order through us and send all your film to Take It Easy.
Once processed, your negatives are scanned at the resolution you selected when ordering.
Before your order is finished, your scans are checked by the lab team. We’re a real group of people looking after your photographs, not just an automated processing line.
Your negatives still belong to you after processing. When ordering, you can choose how you’d like them handled, including whether you want them cut into strips or left uncut.
Make sure you choose the return or collection option that works for you when placing your order.
Running a film lab creates chemical and material waste, so we take practical steps to reduce what we can.
That includes recovering silver from chemistry, filtering waste, recycling where possible and finding ways to reuse materials that would otherwise be thrown away.
Choose your developing service and we’ll take it from there.
