film scanning
When you choose us for film developing by mail our experts scan your film using the award winning Noritsu Qss-32 machine. Our goal is to provide you the best possible scan from your film. Each frame is evaluated and corrected for density, highlight and shadow detail, and color.
We also offer image file transfers via WeTransfer for only $1.00 extra per roll.
photographic prints
Here at NCPS’s film processing lab in Carlsbad, we only print photographic prints using Noritsu digital wet lab machines. We don't print canvas, metal, acrylic, greeting cards or other products printed with an inkjet printer. We focus on creating beautiful true photographic prints on Fuji crystal archive paper.

The Great American Photo Lab, formerly known as North Coast Photographic Services (NCPS) was established by a professional photographer in 1978, after seeing the need to provide quality photo printing to professionals and non professionals alike. We have evolved from a 2 person 400 sq. ft. building, to a state of the art full service digital and traditional film processing lab in Carlsbad, utilizing technicians with over 100 yrs. of accumulated experience.
