IMO, that is a dumb way to process chromogenic film, you are leaving 
silver in the emulsion which means your digital ICE like tools won't 
work properly. This also raises question about the long term 
stability of the processed image.

It is much easier to have your film processed properly and cheaper, 
if you value your time.

But since chromogenic films aren't manufactured in sheet sizes I 
don't use them anyway.

BTW, chromogenic films print beautifully in the wet darkroom, 
regardless of the color of the base and/or emulsion.

My two cents worth,

Don Bryant
