Christina, all Liam's (splendid) reversal methods use the freestyle lith,
see P-F Issues 2 & 3, with final update in 4. Dave Soemarko's article in
P-F #2 "Lith Film in Continuous Tone" is also the Freestyle film, and I've
got a lot in same issue "Dealing with Sheet Film," also in Issue #4, since
that's the only large film I use any more.
Are you planning to make pos & neg? If you have the negs already I
suggest going right to large neg by reversal. It's much easier than you
think (I thought).
Issue # 4 also has Stuart Melvin's pyro on lith film for pt/pd, for some
reason not in the table of contents (I guess there wasn't room), but on
page 25.
