APS
We are no longer scanning APS film in-house (11-12-15). We will process it in-house, then outlab the processed film for scanning. The retail price for the scanning is $15. If film is also processed, add $8.25.
We are shipping APS film to Fromex for scanning or prints: WE DEVELOP APS. When we get APS scans back from Fromex, they are on a Fromex CD. These need to be transferred to a Color Services CD before they are given to our customer.
We ship out on Thursdays and the typical turnaround time is 1 week.

Black & White
Film processing that yields black and white negatives.
C41
This is a color negative processing.
Cross Processing E-6 in C-41
Normally film will come out contrasty. The film type also is a factor in how contrasty. Some people push their film 1 Stop but is not necessary.
Coffee Processing
Coffee Processing yields black and white negatives. Instant coffee and Vitamin C are used instead of a standard film developer.
Converting Digital Files Into Slides
DR5 in Denver, Colorado still does this - http://www.dr5.com/ -
E6
This is reversal process that yields transparencies. Since slide mounts are no longer manufactured, we can no longer provide mounted slides as an option on 35mm E6 processing. We no longer provide E6 processing in house. We outlab it.
We are now shipping E6 film to Fromex.
We ship out on Thursdays and the typical turnaround time is 1 week.
