Film Processing

Here at Colourstream we are committed to the ongoing use of film and the creative possibilities it can offer.

We process in house ; colour negative (C41), black and white, and colour transparency (E6), in 35mm, 120 and 5x4” sizes. Cross processing and ‘alternative’ cameras are also welcomed, although please see our’ Alternative Process’ section for more information on this side of our services.

We can develop, contact, scan and print any of these film types. All developing is to a professional standard, on monitored equipment, by technicians with decades of experience in the photo lab industry.

Develop and print packages are offered in all the common sizes, and develop and scan packages in standard and high resolution.

Film can be dropped in here to our central Brighton lab or sent by post for full mail order service. Colour and black and white developing, scanning and printing can be turned around in 1 hour for those needing a speedy local service.

All negatives are scanned and printed using our sophisticated colour analysis software. This includes colour balancing, contrast, saturation, dust and hair removal correction.

Please see our sections below for details on different film types. Any type not covered or any film query you have, please phone or email for a chat.
