The dark arts

85 years of film processing and we still can’t get enough.

We are keeping the standard with dip and dunk C41 processing and hand processing of black and white film 35mm, medium and large format.
Go on, give us a challenge.

Atkins Film

Atkins Film offers the highest quality processing, scanning and colour correction available. We use a professionally sought-after Dip and Dunk machine for processing Colour Negative / C41 film and all Black and White film is processed by hand, creating the most controlled and desirable results.

Followed by your choice of scanner Noritsu (Default) or Frontier (Pro Only) both include skilled operators performing color corrections. For Process Only you can skip to having them placed into archival sleeving for storage (Cut and Sleeve or Do Not Cut).

We treat every frame on each roll (and every sheet of film) like it is the only copy remaining, destined for the Louvre.

Process only - Up to 5 business days
Process & Scan - Up to 10 business days

Rush Rates available upon request!

* When your scans are ready we will send you an email with a link to where you can download your files.
Yes, we can push film! Pushing involves processing film for longer than it’s recommended developing time, this technique increases the intended ISO of the film. As a result, the image appears brighter, but has its caveats with increased grain, contrast and the risk of overexposure if the film wasn’t prepared with push processing in mind.
We use scanners that have a system called ICE installed. This means for colour film scans the dust spots are automatically removed. However, it was not designed for black and white scanning in mind so we have endeavoured to ensure that black and white scanning includes manual removal of major spots. If you wish to have full spotting of files we can arrange a quote. If you want to learn more about film spotting head to Paul’s blog post!
