There are disclosed color-providing compounds comprising two or more cyclic 1,3 sulfur-nitrogen groups and two or more color-providing moieties, i.e., complete dyes or dye intermediates, capable of releasing the color-forming moieties upon cleavage in the presence of silver ions or a soluble silver complex. The color-providing compounds are useful as image-forming materials in color photographic processes.

Color-providing compound having two or more cyclic 1,3 sulfur-nitrogen

Image-recording material

There are disclosed dye-providing compounds comprising color coupler dyes substituted on the phenylene diamine portion with one or two cyclic 1,3-sulfur-nitrogen groups. The dye-providing compounds are capable of releasing the coupler dye upon cleavage in the presence of silver ions or a soluble silver complex. The dye-providing compounds are useful as image-forming materials in color thermographic, photothermographic and other photographic processes.

There are described novel pyrazole compounds represented by the formula ##STR1## wherein Y is a silver halide developing substituent or a precursor thereof; R is --OH, --NH.sub.2 or --NHSO.sub.2 --R.sub.1 ; R.sub.1 is alkyl having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms or phenyl; and m and n are the same or different and each is an integer of from 1 to 6. The pyrazole compounds are useful as intermediates in the preparation of azo and azomethine dye developers or as silver halide developing agents.

Novel pyrazole compounds having silver halide development groups

There are described novel azo and azomethine dye developers which include a pyrazolone moiety having two silver halide developing groups. In one embodiment the dye developers are metal complexed. The dye developer compounds are useful in photographic products and processes.

Azo and azomethine dye developers

This invention relates to diffusion transfer photographic processes adapted to be performed in the presence of ambient light and to diffusion transfer products useful in such processes wherein enhanced opacification particularly, in the green region of the visible spectrum is achieved by employing a 7-sulfonamido/5- or 6-sulfamoyl indole phthalein as the light-absorbing, pH-sensitive optical filter agent for the shorter wavelength region of the visible spectrum.
