01 Develop
C-41 in Fuji chemistry on Noritsu V50 roller transport. B&W, E-6 and ECN-2 too.
The scan is where your film becomes a photograph.
Every roll we develop is scanned in our lab on Noritsu and Fuji Frontier scanners. Keep as much of the negative as you need — 2K, 4K, or a Pro Scan finished by hand.
From negative to file, under one roof.
Nothing is sent out. The technicians who develop your film scan it, check it and upload it to your gallery.
02 Scan
Noritsu HS-1800 by default, Fuji Frontier on request. Calibrated and colour-checked daily.
03 Correct
Lab colour and density set in-scanner. Pro Scans are refined by hand, frame by frame.
04 Deliver
A private online gallery with JPEG downloads, and TIFFs whenever you need them.
Choose how much of the negative you keep.
Every scan starts from the same negative on the same scanner. What changes is how many pixels you take home, and how much human attention goes into the colour.

What is a TIFF, and do I need one?
A TIFF keeps more image information for editing and printing. JPEGs are ready to share. Standard 4K and Pro Scan include JPEG + TIFF; Standard 2K lets you unlock TIFFs frame by frame after upload. TIFF unlocks are not available for Standard 1K. Noritsu TIFFs are 16-bit and Frontier TIFFs are 8-bit.
How long does scanning take?
Turnaround changes with the lab queue and the options on your roll. Check the current turnaround below and the estimate when you order. Rush is available.
Noritsu or Frontier?
Noritsu HS-1800 is our default, with crisp alignment and 16-bit TIFFs. Fuji Frontier offers a classic lab colour feel, 8-bit TIFFs, and sloppy borders or full rebates on 35mm. Choose your scanner per roll.
Can I ask for a specific look?
Yes. Choose Pro Scan and send reference images and notes to proscans@nicefilmclub.com. A technician refines each frame, and you can review your scans and discuss colour and tonal adjustments. Pro Scan covers colour and tonal work, not dust removal or retouching.
