A high chloride {100} tabular grain emulsion is disclosed containing a non-uniform distribution of iodide to increase sensitivity. A high percentage of the {100} tabular grains have one or more crystal lattice dislocations lines at sites of maximum iodide concentration. The dislocation lines are distinctive in that they are oriented parallel to at least one edge of the {100} tabular grains. The mechanism for producing the dislocation lines relies upon a relatively slow rate of addition of iodide ion, improving the reproducibility of emulsion properties in manufacture. Relatively low overall levels of iodide are employed, allowing rapid rates of development.

Non-uniform iodide high chloride {100} tabular grain emulsion

Direct-positive photographic elements are comprised of a support and a silver halide emulsion layer containing core-shell silver halide grains comprising a chemically sensitized core and a chemically sensitized shell, wherein at least one of the core and the shell comprises a band of dopant and wherein the dopant is hexacyano ruthenium (II). Preferably, the shell of the core-shell grains is chemically sensitized with both a gold-containing chemical sensitizing agent and a sulfur-containing chemical sensitizing agent and the weight ratio of the gold-containing chemical sensitizing agent to the sulfur-containing chemical sensitizing agent is at least about two to one.

High-speed direct-positive photographic elements utilizing core-shell

A photographic emulsion is disclosed in which a spectral sensitizing dye is adsorbed to the surface of octahedral silver bromide grains optionally containing iodide. The grains each contain a buried shell formed in the presence of a hexacoordination complex of iron and at least three cyanide ligands.
