What customers say
Great experience and service. I will say, it did take me about about a month to get my scans back, but I personally chose the "flexible" timeline and it looks like the lab exploded in business basically overnight so I can't fault them for that!
Just got two rolls of Kodak Gold 200 developed and scanned by Gelatin, using their Hi C option and I’m seriously impressed. These are hands down the best quality scans I’ve received from any lab. The colors are rich and true to life, with great detail and minimal dust or scratches.
Gelatin Labs is my go to film lab. I've never been disappointed in the quality of my scans and they make the whole process super easy with many different options.
If I could give more stars I would ! Gelatin Labs was referred to me by a photographer friend who uses this company regularly. I tried other lab companies before and this one is hands down the best experience I have had. I decided to do the Hi-C gel form and you can def tell it's on the film.
