I would agree to the same concerning platinum until a few months ago when I
saw Stuart Melvins work done with lith film developed in PMK Pyro. It seems
the pyro works mostly off the stain and that mediates much of the contrast
in the lith film. There are details on my site listed below. Go to the
"tech papers" section.
