Our APS Expired Film Developing is now priced the same as our standard expired-film processing, making this our most affordable option for recovering images from expired APS film. You can select the scanning, printing, and color-correction options that best fit your needs.
APS is very different from standard 35mm film. Although the film itself is similar in size, the APS cartridge system requires many more handling and processing steps than a conventional roll of 35mm film. The film must be removed from its cassette for processing and then handled through the additional steps required for scanning and finishing. Once your order is complete, the film is wound back into its original APS cassette and returned to you.
Scanning Options: High-Resolution scans are approximately 24MP and are produced on our Noritsu LS-600 professional film scanner. Our DSLR option uses a Canon 5DS-R for maximum image detail.
Regular and High-Resolution scans have the same overall image quality and color. The primary difference is resolution: High-Resolution scans will appear sharper and retain more detail when enlarged, cropped, or printed at larger sizes.
Color Correction: Color correction is strongly recommended for expired APS film, particularly if you are ordering prints. Virtually all APS film is now 20–30 years old, and a strong pink, magenta, or blue color cast is normal after development.
When you purchase color correction, we provide both the original scans and the color-corrected versions. This allows you to keep the untouched scans while also receiving photographs corrected for the deterioration caused by age.
If you select No Color Correction, expect your images to have a significant pink, magenta, or blue color cast. This is normal for APS film that expired 20–30 years ago and does not indicate a developing problem.
If you order prints without color correction, we will contact you before printing your photographs, as the age-related color cast can be particularly noticeable in physical prints.
A Note About Kodak Advantix: In our experience, expired Kodak Advantix APS film generally develops considerably worse than Fujicolor Nexia and most other brands of APS film. Results vary depending on the age of the film, how it was stored, and when it was exposed.
Because all APS film has now been expired for many years, some deterioration should be expected. Our processing is designed to give these older films the best opportunity to produce usable photographs while preserving the original APS film and returning it rewound inside its cassette when the work is complete.
