Ilford FP4+ Magenta dye on negative 4x5

I suppose it could be green, looked blue to me, BUT, I was in the DARKroom. =)

Their response:

"You are correct. The change you saw in the color of the pre-rinse bath was a result of the antihalation layer in the backcoat of the film. This effect is normal. Often when a pre-bath is not used or the processing time is short, this dye remains in the image.

When I don't use a pre soak, the dye comes out with the developer.
