On average we will have your scans back within a week, however during peak business periods or with particular processing requirements this timeframe can change.
Read more on our current Lab Processing Times.
Description
Processing Add-Ons are for when you need your films or scans to be presented in a slightly different way to the typical develop and 'single frame per digital file'.
This includes: Processing for souped C-41 films, as well as sprocket scanning (35mm) and border scanning (120) for digital files.
If you need something else then please do get in touch via the chat link in the bottom-right of your screen and we will happily make it happen!
Please note that all processing add-ons will add 2-3 working days to your order turnaround - they all require separate equipment to standard and it's a very manual process!
How it works:
For every roll of film that requires special scans or developing:
- Ensure that you have added the right developing (and scanning resolution) option from the base developing product page: 35mm or 120
- Choose the scanning add-on from this page and add-to-basket the number of rolls for which you require this service
If you have added multiple rolls of film to developing, but you only need processing add-ons for some of them, please add the supporting details to the order note at checkout.
e.g. "I've ordered 5 x rolls of 35mm development, but I only need the Ilford XP2 roll to be sprocket scanned" or "I've added 4 x rolls for development but it's just the Gold 24 exposure that has been film souped"
What is sprocket scanning?
Sprocket scanning is when the film is scanned with the perforations or sprocket holes to be part of the image on 35mm film.
You may like this option to show the edge-markings on your photo: ultimate proof of the analogue format!
And some cameras (like the Sprocket Rocket) are designed to shoot outside the 'typical' image frame and cover the entire width of film for photos like this:
What is film souping?
Film souping is an experimental and creative technique used in film photography to produce unique, unpredictable effects on the developed film. This process involves deliberately altering the film emulsion before development by soaking it in various substances, hence the term "souping".
We have had customers use: tea, wine, coffee, lemon juice, vinegar, seawater, and many more!
The extra chemical reactions can cause issues if we use our usual colour processing machines, so we hand-develop all 'souped' film.
What is border scanning?
Border scanning is similar to sprocket-scanning, but for 120 film.
120 film is medium format roll film - so doesn't have sprockets on the edge of the film. However some cameras still shoot right to the edge - and you can also get the lovely effect of the edge markings (visible below) when you scan right to the border.
What about Panoramic scanning?
We've recently upgraded some of our scanning equipment, and it no longer takes extra time to scan Panorama! So we have removed it as a charge - if you'd like Panoramic scans just add a note to our order and the lab team will make sure it happens

As ever, AW's development of souped film is rival to none. Fantastic image quality, even when my soup has half melted the emulsion off. They're also wonderful about making sure that each of my self-souped rolls are uploaded in such a way that I know which was which so I don't get my recipes confused.

I've been doing a lot of home brewed souped film recipes recently and AW has managed to get images from every roll - even the wildest and most damaging mixes!
Speedy and great quality developing, thanks as ever to the lab.

Don't even bother asking other labs about developing souped film, Analogue Wonderland is the best and never disappoints.
Sample shots are a variety of Hanalogital's souped films.

This Hanalogital Autumn '24 and I really liked the results of it. Thank goodness for AW. One of the few film development companies that do such extra service, like souped film.

Great service if a little expensive at £5 per roll, but understandable as it ruins the chemicals.
P
Good service. If you request over scan and pay for it, you get it.

For those are curious and shoot with half frame cameras.

I recently tried shooting with half frame camera and added this "Sprocket Scans" to my scanning and development order. Pretty cool to see how shots look full, without being cut.

Would it be possible to DIY / home 'soup' a 110 colour film and have it developed by the AW Wonderlab?
Hi Pete, unfortunately we can only develop 35mm and 120 souped films, not 110. Sorry about that! Hope you can find another lab to help :) - Amy

How do I go about specifying half frame processing and scanning?
Hi Andy, these will be scanned as normal 'individual' frames however if you'd like them to be scanned as 'diptychs' or two to a frame, please leave a note on your development order at check out. More information here: https://analoguewonderland.gorgias.help/en-US/half-frame-and-disposable-development-440443 - Amy

Do you offer a mounting service for 35mm slide film ; I would wish to shoot slides to project them , not for scanning . If so do you offer glass or glass less mounts ?
Hi Derek, we don't offer either of these unfortunately, just developing and scanning. - Amy

I have film I shot through a panoramic camera, can I send it to you for development and scanning?
Do I need to add any notes to my order?
The film is 35mm colour
Thanks :D
Hi Fiona, great! Yes we can develop film shot in a panoramic camera and you won't need to add a note to your order as we'll know from looking at your negatives :) - Amy
J
Is it a one time charge per order or is it additional for each individual roll?
Hi Jake. Yes, you will need to order your extras per roll of film. - Amy
S
Hi, Can you scan 120, 6x14 images {from kodax 3a} ?
Regards Stewart.
Hi Stewart, as standard we scan 6x12 images but if you select your 120 development service as normal and add a note to your order about it being 6x14, we can check on our scanner. We'll have to charge you an additional £5 for this if we can't do as default, so will be in touch. Hope this makes sense :) - Amy

Do you offer development services for Super 8 film?
Hi Neil, unfortunately not. But we'd recommend you have a look at CineLab - https://www.cinelab.co.uk/
