A photothermographic element comprises: (a) a support bearing on one surface thereof (b) a photosensitive emulsion layer (i) a binder; (ii) a light-insensitive organic silver salt, (iii) a reducing agent, and (iv) a photosensitive silver halide emulsion; (c) an antihalation dye incorporated in the emulsion layer, in a polymer layer under the photosensitive layer, in the support, or in a backside polymer layer; and (d) one or more tinting dyes such that the final color space of the film lies within the range defined by 220&deg;<h,<260&deg;, where h,is the psychometric hue angle, h,&equals;arctan(b*/a*), as defined in the CIELAB color system.

Photothermographic element having desired color

A thermally processable imaging element which comprises a support bearing an imaging layer containing in reactive association an image-forming combination comprising an organic silver salt oxidizing agent with a reducing agent for the organic silver salt oxidizing agent, wherein the imaging layer comprises a binder and a chlorinated hydrocarbon.

Thermally processable imaging element having improved physical properties

The present invention is a silver halide photographic material including at least one layer which contains; a polymer comprising as constituent components thereof a repeating unit having a photographically useful group and at least one repeating unit having an imidazole group; and a compound having at least one functional group which reacts with an imidazole group and at least one other functional group capable of reacting with an imidazole group and a primary amine group, the amount of the compound being sufficient to insure adequate fixation of said polymer.
