Photographic elements, diffusion transfer assemblages and processes are described which employ a novel nondiffusible compound having a releasable 2-(5-nitro-2-pyridylazo)-1-naphthol dye moiety. The compound contains a ballasted carrier moiety which is capable of releasing the diffusible azo dye under alkaline conditions. The dye is transferred imagewise to an image-receiving layer where it is contacted with metal ions to form a metal-complexed azo dye transfer image of excellent stability.
