Slobo:

If you've already processed it in a litho type, Kodalith) developer then
you're probably out of luck as these are extremely high contrast
film/developer combinations.

If you've not yet processed, then develop it under inspection, (red
light) in 1:1 or 1:2 Dektol.  The results will still not be panchromatic
but rather contrasty orthochromatice... red items will appear very dark
to black when printed.

If anything can be done with PS to un-ortho it, then I'll be pleasantly
surprised.
