How to Choose
Compare lab scan tiers carefully. Basic scans (Frontier/Noritsu) are often 2-4 megapixels - fine for social media but limited for prints. Premium scans (higher resolution, colour correction) cost more. Ask for sample scans or check reviews. UK labs: AG Photo, Peak Imaging, The Darkroom UK.
