Kodachrome K-14 Film Developing Service

How do we develop Kodachrome in Colour?

Short answer: We don't.

But the longer answer is:

First, we pre-wash with Kodak's Remjet removal solution, then we hand develop as a black and white image using Rodinal and Ilford Rapid Fixer.

We then scan your Black and White negatives in and convert them using Lightroom and Negative Lab Pro.

Finally, to get your colour images, we use AI to re-introduce colour into your photos** before sending them to your e-mail.

Your Black and White negatives are then returned in PolyEthylene Sleeves.

**Colour reintroduction can introduce colour artefacts to your images and may not get the correct colours, as such we also include your images as normal black and white in addition to your colour scans when you receive them.

Films are scanned with an Epson Perfection V700 film scanner and converted with Adobe Lightroom and Negative Lab Pro.

Scans are returned Via Google Drive Link to the E-Mail associated with the account used to place the order. The Link is only valid for 1 month after the files are uploaded and sent to you.

Developing lead time once film is received is 2 weeks. Return postage is via Royal Mail 48h Tracked. We never dispose of negatives and they are returned to you uncut.

Due to the fact that all Kodachrome film is expired, images may not appear on the film or may be degraded, in the event that the film is too degraded to get images off it, we will refund you your order minus the Development ONLY price.

If the film is damaged or mis-developed due to negligence on our part, your compensation is limited to a full refund as well as a replacement roll of the same film (or similar if the original film stock is no longer available)
