I think you mean Panalure. Don't bother. I recently made a black and white
print from a color neg on variable contrast paper for a client. Print times
were longer but I could even manipulate the contrast with the filters. I
was pleasantly surprised by the results, ie, full tonal range. I don't
think anyone would suspect the print was made from a color neg. I'm not
planning on making a practice of this but in those instances where I need a
black and white print from a color neg I'm doing it myself.
