This invention relates to a photographic element comprising a support having thereon light sensitive silver halide layers comprising at least one red light sensitive silver halide layer, at least one green light sensitive silver halide layer, and at least one blue sensitive silver halide layer, wherein the green light sensitive silver halide layer has an absorption spectra having a maximum absorption at a wavelength &lgr;max from 530 to 560 nm and a half bandwidth less than 50 nm; and the red light sensitive silver halide layer has an adsorption spectra having a maximum absorption at a wavelength &lgr;max from 610 to 640 nm, and exhibiting from 30 nm hypsochromic of the wavelength of maximum absorption and below an area less than 40% based on the total area of the red light sensitive silver halide layer adsorption spectra. It further relates to a method of processing said element using an electronic filmwriter device.

Spectral sensitized silver halide element for electronic filmwriter device

A color reversal element having a red sensitive layer containing a cyan dye forming coupler, a green sensitive layer containing a magenta dye forming coupler, and a blue sensitive layer containing a yellow dye forming coupler, the red, green and blue sensitive layers each having a speed .gtoreq.120 as measured at a density of 0.3, a Dmax of .gtoreq.3.30 and a .increment.logE .ltoreq.1.85 measured from a density of 0.20 to 3.20, the Dmax and .increment.logE being measured following exposure and processing of the element. Daylight and tungsten balanced versions of the film are also provided. A method for processing such films and exposing them in electronic film writers is also provided. Film of the present invention allows a wide range of density values in an original film to be more faithfully reproduced and enable more faithful reproduction of colors recorded in the original scanned film.
