When one first develops the image, you obtain a negative.
That, then, is bleached in the permanganate/sulfuric acid bleach thereby
leaving no darkened silver.
The excess permanganate is removed via the sulfite giving you a fairly clear
film w/a very slight negative image.
What remains is the not-fixed silver halides which are automatically
'charged' and ready for development. This, of course, is the positive image
(like in E6).
You then develop that very quickly w/the sulfide and if done that way, you
don't necessarily need to fix, but I think it is smart to do so.
There is no blix or anything . . . it is bleaching. You can make prints this
way also.
