first you want to develope your picture like normal, I like to make it a little darker than it should be, then empty the negative cartrge, and place the picture you just developed face down on the paper, expose with normal time...

Shawn, do you mean a B&W positive, by reversal processing, or a film positive from an existing B&W negative, or something else entirely?

Shawn: I have a text file on my home computer that explains the reversal process in detail. Drop me an email and I will send it to you. I warn you that it is not a process for the faint-hearted.

well, if you are talking about a (-,-=+) positive from a negative, try making micro dots (what spys used to do to send photos of things) take the normally developed negative, get a 8x10 piece of black cardboard (or construction paper), cut a rectangle in the middle just big enough for the negative; and tape it in the hole. You can either set it up in front of a light, or set it on a light-box, then take a picture of the whole 8x10 sheet (with the negative in the middle) and BAM!!! you develop that photo you just took, and if you look at it's negative, it will be a VERY VERY small positive smack dab in the middle. Then you can cut it smaller and go so far as to put it under a postage stamp to hide it. The results are astonishing and you should use like a 100 or lower ISO film to do it.. oh yeah, the same can be applied to create normal positives, or have a lab make slides for you...
