Before You Start

Regarding Scanning Aspect Ratios

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.

Scanning Limitation

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.
