I'm using this film in Rodinal with good results, but I would like to
have lower midtones.
What can I do?

Thanks.

I am not sure what you mean by lower mid-tones. If you
mean making the mid grays darker for the same value of
shadows and highlights you will have to use another film.
The rendition of gray tones depends on the characteristic
curve of the film. A very long toe film, like Kodak Tri-X
Sheet film, has an upward rising characteristic which will
cause the mid grays to reproduce darker than a straight
characteristic film like T-Max 100 or Acros. While the
developer has some effect on curve shape it isn't much.
Mostly the shape is built into the film by the way the
emulsion is made.

I do not know what 'lower midtones' means. Could you
clarify.

If you really want to mess around with the curve, then I'm
sorry to say it, but "Photoshop" may be your best recourse.
