Photofaction, which repaired cameras and developed color and black and white film at 117 Seventh Ave. between President and Carroll streets, closed earlier this month. The owners could not be reached for comment.

Film photography buffs can now turn to these nearby businesses for film processing:

Accurate Photoshop, 639 Fifth Ave. and 18th Street, South Slope. Offers two-hour black and white processing and other services.

Gowanus Darkroom, 119 Eighth St. and Second Avenue, Gowanus. Get your photos printed or do it yourself at this community-oriented darkroom space.

Kubus, 102A Nassau Ave. and Leonard Street, Greenpoint. This location does film developing, photo printing and photo restoration.

 ► The chain pharmacies CVS (341 Ninth St. off Sixth Avenue in Park Slope) and Walgreens (589 Prospect Ave. in Windsor Terrace) both offer film processing.
