Hi Guy, At the risk of being redundant, the suggestion to use the Farmers solutions separately is what I would go with. If you use the bleach bath first then you can always redevelop your film and try again. I would dilute the bleach more than the directions, perhaps 50% more. Agitate and watch closely. Remove and wash the film just before it reaches the optimum printable density -- the fixer will lighten the film a bit more. If it is still to dark you can continue to bleach but only after the film has been thoroughly washed to remove all fixer residue. Best Rusty
