It takes us about 3-7 business days from the time we receive your order from our drop box or through shipment.
Once your order arrives, we develop, dry, scan, then if specified we digitally process your rolls by coverting each frame into a positive image. We then archive your film negatives and ship them back you if specified within your order.

All our services are custom to fit your creative workflow. Whether you need development of your film, scans of your images or both, Cracked is here for you.

Upon order arrival, your film is prepped to develop according to your order’s specifications. After developing, your film is handled and cleaned carefully to ensure a clean and accurate scanning process.
Upon completion of your order, your film physical negatives will be shipped back to you, Your digital scans can be found via We Transfer delivery in your email inbox. These scans will be stored in this folder for 7 days, so make sure to save them to your cloud or hard drive.

Scan Type does not determine scan size.
STANDARD SCAN:
Converted negatives into digital files, with white balance, some color/tone and density correction in scanner.
Cropping, some dedusting and rotating included.
PRO SCAN:
White balance, color, and density correction in scanner, extensive dedusting + post-adjustments of all images for consistency/matching your color profile & preferences while having the ability to work directly with Jaymie to achieve your desired outcome. Let us know within the comments section of your order any specs you have.
(Post adjustments are emulating darkroom editing, we do not "edit" your film.)

Framed Boarders or “sloppy crop” are available on 35mm and medium format. Sloppy crop is similar to the look that you'd get in the darkroom with a filed negative carrier to allow for black borders.
All Framed border scans are subject to periodic misalignment in the film scanner as well as slight shifts in tone and color of the black boarders. We generally do our best to avoid this, but different cameras sometimes expose different parts of the negative which can result in slight imperfections in the black borders; this is completely normal and not something we can avoid. Border scans include significantly more surface area than regular crop scans and even with a misaligned frame, you are likely not losing anything that you wouldn't lose with regular crop.
