C41 Film Processing – TPS OFFER

Since 1972, the majority of colour film in use has required C41 film processing. This method is completely homogenised -regardless of the film brand, speed, or format, all C41 is designed to be processed in exactly the same way. Once processed, the film negatives are easily recognisable by their orange-brown colour.

At AG, we offer the highest quality, professionally monitored C41 film processing. This service includes processing of colour process Black & White film (e.g. Ilford XP2) and cross processing of E6 slide film (please mark your film clearly as “X-Process”).

When it comes to scanning or printing your film, our skilled technicians professionally balance by eye each frame for colour, contrast and density. Our policy is to balance images so as to obtain the best from your film and deliver usable files with a balance of shadow and highlight detail – based on our professional judgement. If you would prefer flat, low-contrast scan files ready for your own balancing and editing, or no balancing at all, please select this option from the drop-down box during ordering.

Please note: The quality of your results depends heavily on accurate exposure, the condition of your film, and the performance of your camera and lens. While C41 colour film offers generous exposure latitude, achieving proper exposure at the time of shooting produces the best negatives for scanning and printing. If you’re aiming for a specific look, expose accurately during shooting, then fine-tune in post-production.
