There is disclosed a photographic image including an ink-acceptable surface thereon. The photographic image may be formed by known conventional or diffusion transfer techniques. The ink-acceptable surface is formed by applying an aqueous mixture of a polymeric mordant material over the photograph and forming a relatively clear dry coating thereon. The subject coating provides an ink-acceptable surface upon the photograph which accepts and retains ink applied thereto and resist the remove of such ink therefrom.

Photographic film units are disclosed which incorporate an anti-reflection layer comprising a matrix of silica having dispersed therein particles of a fluorinated polymer. Viewing of the image and/or photoexposure are effected through the anti-reflection layer.

Diffusion transfer film units and processes are disclosed wherein a silver transfer image is formed in an image layer separated from the silver halide emulsion by a layer containing carbon black. Inclusion of polyvinylpyrrolidone in the carbon black layer provides increased silver transfer density.
