Trust your film with the experts at Bay Photo. Whether you need processing only, high-resolution scanning, or complete services including prints, we offer top-tier film processing to meet the needs of discerning photographers. Your film is developed using professional-grade chemical processors, then scanned on legendary Noritsu scanners with hand-corrected color for exceptional accuracy. Choose from standard or high-resolution scans, receive your digital files online, and get your original negatives safely returned by mail.
FILM PROCESSING YOU CAN TRUST
All process and scan orders include film processing in professional chemical processors, scans in your choice of resolution, color corrected by hand on legendary Noritsu scanners, and digital file delivery with negatives returned by mail. Proof prints and Printfile negative sleeving are also available.
EXPERT SCANNING
The way your film is scanned has a major effect on the final look of your photos. Our film techs are professionally trained using Noritsu scanners to get the best possible results from your film. When color correcting film scans, the subject always gets priority with a focus on natural skin tones and a good balance of light and dark tones. If you have a particular aesthetic you are looking for or any special instructions for your roll, please let us know!
We offer two options for scan resolution:
- Standard Scans are a great all around option that offers good detail and finer grain structure to print up to 11x14(~2000x3000).
- Large Scans offer the highest detail for important projects and the ability to make much larger prints(~4000x6000).
Additional Services
Our default film processing service returns your developed film roll uncut. You can opt for us to cut your film into strips of 4 delivered in lab sleeving, or into strips of 5 in Printfile binder sleeving. Scans, contact sheets and proof prints are also available as the perfect add-ons to get a better preview of your latest film shots.
Proof Prints
Single or Double 4x6 prints (or 5x5 for square format)
Film Sleeving

Contact Sheet
