I've only used it once... to take the stem off a flower against a back blackground. I started by mixing solution A and B together (according to the instructions) and couldn't get it to do anything at all. I asked on usenet, and Richard Knoppow advised to just use solution A alone, then soak the neg. in fixer after you're done reducing. I had to use quite a few applications (of solution A) before I even started to see any effect.
I don't know what it will do to your shadows. Unless somebody who has used it more offers advice, I would try it on an unimportant neg. from the roll and see what happens.
