Re: Developing Color in B/W Reversal Chemistry

I'm surprised there is no sodium sulfite clearing bath used after bleaching. I would think the "Blix" would leave something of a purple stain, but perhaps not.

At any rate, a finished print too light can be attributed to a variety of causes:

1. Film overexposed.

2. First development too long or temp. too hot.

3. Re-exposure after bleaching insufficient (you cannot overexpose at this point).

4. Second development too short or temp. too cold.

hope this helps,

Ed

As far as I'm aware the celer-reverser kit is b&w chemistry.

>Has anyone had any experience of developing Plus-X 7265 (super 8 b&w reversal) with the celer-reverser kit? 

Per the original question above; please note that one cannot develop b & w film in color chemistry because bleach in color processing removes the silver, leaving the color dye-based image behind. If the image is silver-based--as it is in b/w--then no image will be left.
