Separate from 35mm film scanning, APS film scanning includes a flat-fee of just $9.95 for per roll for 2,000 DPI and $19.90 per roll for 4,000 DPI, regardless of exposure count (15, 25 or 40 exposure). Due to APS' smaller physical film size, file sizes are smaller at the same resolution when scanned, compared to 35mm film. The APS film surface area is only 56% of a standard 135 film. We color & density correct and enhance each image using Digital ICE which works to detect and reduce dust and surface scratches without softening, blurring, or altering the image.
When scanning APS film the entire negative is scanned regardless of what you shot the layout to be. APS film was designed to always shoot at a 4x7 proportionate negative. During the printing process, the printer would detect what size the photo was shot at (C, HD or P) and would then crop the photo based on that stored information. We scan the entire negative that was shot and ignore what the setting on the camera was at the time of the picture giving you the full image as you can see from the diagram below.

Black represents the full 4x7 (HD) proportionate negative
Red represents a 4x6 (C) proportionate crop Green represents a 4x12 (P) proportionate crop We scan the black-bordered area, ensuring your full image is scanned, even if you didn't know you had it. |
You can easily order additional photographic prints at the time the order is placed since we don't just scan at ScanMyPhotos.com; we are also a photo lab as well.
Packing Instructions: APS film is self-contained in the canister. Please do not remove or attempt to remove the film from the cartridge. If you have your canisters in the APS specific film holders, you can send the film in that as an added layer of protection during shipping. They will be returned to you.
IMPORTANT NOTE: From time to time, we are unable to scan APS rolls. While this occurs only occasionally, we have found that over the years, some places decided to process and print APS film but did want to make the investment into the required equipment to do so. These labs would remove the film from the cartridges and tape it to a card in order to process the film. Unfortunately, when you use this process, you have to cut the film and official APS film printers/scanners require a very specific minimum length of film. If it is even the slightest bit short, it then becomes unprintable/unscannable with the proper equipment, which we have. Sometimes labs would get lucky with their cutting, however most of the time, it was cut too short for official equipment. Since we don't have any other way to scan APS film, we are unable to scan those rolls and will be returned with a note.
