If you’d like a second scan done of the same roll with Flat Contrast and Neutral Temperature, separate from your current Contrast + Temperature selections.
All Contrast + Temperature selections are tuned by our operators in scanner, so each selection requires a separate scan of your film.
Jump the developing line and receive your scans as soon as possible.
Color C-41 Scans: 1 business day
B+W Scans: 2-4 business days
E-6 Scans: 2-4 business days
ECN-2 Scans: 2-4 business days
Using a professional high resolution flatbed scanner, we can achieve scans of your images that include the sprockets and partial edge codes.
Note: Turnaround time will increase by 3-5 days for full sprocket scans. Dust correction best effort. Film will be cut + sleeved into strips to achieve this service.

At Gelatin Labs, we believe an image is completed once it’s printed. Add 4×6″ prints to see your scans in the flesh. Each set contains a print of each exposed image on your roll (blank images are skipped).
Pro – Good for social media, web, zines, and small to medium-sized prints.
SuperPro – Great for all digital use, medium sized prints.
Scans are digital copies of your film images. Different levels of resolution can change the use cases and printability of your scans. Choose the Scan Level that best aligns with your experience, use cases, and needs.
Film comes in different shapes and sizes. Match your film to the kinds listed below when ordering.
There is a process required to develop each film type. Check your film roll or camera for the following markings to order the best option for your images.
A GelForm is a thoughtfully crafted balance of temperature and contrast—bundling them into distinct looks that are both intuitive and reliable. Whether you prefer a clean, true-to-film rendering, a punchy high-contrast feel, or something with a bit more warmth or coolness, there’s a GelForm that fits your style.
We’ve created a set of unique formulas (GelForms) that unlock endless possibilities—making your photos more personal and distinctive. These are not presets, but in-scanner adjustments to get the best from your film.
Choose the GelForm that best fits your style and application – we apply carefully tuned formulas based on contrast and temperature. For specialty GelForms, we can also preserve details like sprockets or the rebate edge.
Each formula is unique and will render a different result. Explore the possibilities of your images by experimenting with each GelForm. (Note: Results may vary from sample images, and depend on the film stock chosen, exposure settings while shooting, and film storage).
Each GelForm is made possible by professional film scanners that evoke different styles. To understand which GelForm relates to each scanner, refer to the table below.
| Scanner | GelForm |
|---|---|
| Noritsu HS-1800 | THE STANDARD, THE HI-C, THE HI-C SPIKED, THE FLAT EARTH, THE NOIR, THE FLAT MOON |
| Fujifilm Frontier SP-3000 | THE FRINGE, THE SPACELY |
| Fujifilm Frontier SP-500 | THE PALM-AIRE, THE ELIZABETH |
