After stop bath I open lights (as it can be done and I do with any reversal) and see metallic silver and silver halide, it is correct because if I fix it I obtain a normal negative, but if I apply bleach (permanganate or dichromate) metallic silver goes away but halide also does, when it should stay.

I'd like to see that example please, if possible, to know what results can be obtained !!

Thanks in advance
Read Thomas' link carefully with the discussion we had about reversal processing...

I'm wondering if the emulsion of CMS might be too thin for reversal processing??? (Old school thicker emulsion films tend to work better...)
