I think I see what you mean, but If I remember correctly I pulled my prints from the toner before the highlights started to go. The ones with toned highlights were toned in the shadows and midtones as well, a result of a looong time in the selenium. Do your highlights go first? Maybe more time? And so as not to be a liar. My Forte prints aren't dark chocolate brown in selenium(confusing my Forte and Brilliant), but more of a red/brown.
