I don't know how to do this. I've used a machine that may be like the
one you have, and it also uses color film. I think the "high contrast"
way has to be done by yourself, or by a photo lab who knows what they're
doing.
Oh no, am I turning into one of those people who says "well, when *I*
was a graduate student, we walked uphill both ways in the snow to get
our slides on high contrast film!"?
