What the lab does

How we develop your film

35mm · 120 · 220 · 110 · 4x5 sheet

Every roll is developed in our own lab, not sent out. Each store develops the film dropped off there; mail-ins are developed in Fairfield.

  1. Order online, or at the counter

    Pick the format, the process, scans and prints, and pay online in a couple of minutes. Or bring your film in and we write it up with you.

  2. Drop it off or mail it in

    Ordered online? Skip the line at either lab, or mail it to Fairfield with the prepaid USPS label we email you (envelope $9.99, box $19.00).

  3. We develop it here

    Color (C-41), slide (E-6) and black & white, hand processed in our own lab on a Fuji Frontier. Black & white times are set roll by roll.

  4. Scanned and color corrected

    A technician scans and color corrects every frame. Standard scans for sharing, high-res for big prints and editing.

  5. Back to you

    Scans on your own USB drive at no charge, or emailed and saved in your Unique Photo account. Negatives picked up, shipped back, or disposed of — your call.
