The processing of the film results in film strips with the captured images. It is possible to digitize the negatives afterwards or to create prints. It is common practice at most developing laboratories to have prints made of the images as an additional option.

If you plan to process the photos digitally, you can digitize the film strips using a scanner. Many photo labs offer the digitization of negatives, but it is also possible to use a scanner for home use. After digitizing photos, one can edit them in Photoshop and share them on social media.
