Questions

Common questions

What is the Gayle Effect?

A longer development time that pushes the highlights for a punchy, high-contrast look. Ask for it when you drop off your film.

Do you still sell black and white film?

Yes, we stock standard black and white film in the store.

Can I get scans instead of prints?

Yes. Add high-quality scans to any black and white processing order.
