• Would love to get some two cents from some peeps in the know re. the scans I've been getting.

    Some artifacts can be seen I think in the two images below, as well as the blue line on the bottom which I'm guessing is a scanning artifact of some description? These are unedited and uploaded to Imgur if that makes a difference.

    Whereas this one (same roll) seems okay except again for that blue line.

    The place I go to for dev and scan seems to deal mostly with younger people developing disposable cameras post festival and the odd film student so I wouldn't be surprised if the attention to detail of the dev and scan process wasn't great. They offer a one hour WeTransfer turnaround that I find hard to resist most of the time.

    I always pick up the negatives and I intend to get a scanner by the years end so I'm well up for ingesting them all again if it turns out the photo shop's done a bum job.

  • How much are you paying for the 1 hour dev and scan? If its cheap theres no hard in getting these scans done and then scanning the ones you like seperately

  • Are you talking about the horizontal lines on the photos ? If so I'd check the negs first to rule that out. May have been a problem during dev in the minilab - that would be my first guess rather than a scanning issue.
