1. Develop the carbro image on the original silver bromide, without
transfer.
2. Redevelop the silver image (which was bleached out by the carbro
sensitizer) in a weak developer.
3. When development has reached the desired point, briefly wash the
carbro/silver print, fix, then wash thoroughly as with a silver print.
This process allows for some interesting duo-tone effects, in that the
pigment tissue can be of any color, and the silver image can be
subsequently rebleached and toned with a wide range of color possibilities.
Getting the right density for the two images is, however, a bit tricky.
