A silver halide photographic element, and a method of making such an element, comprising a tabular grain silver halide emulsion containing at least one green spectral sensitizing dye of formula I, and at least one green spectral sensitizing dye of formula II:

Green sensitized tabular grain photographic emulsions

The invention relates to an emulsion comprising tabular grains of greater than or equal to about 3.7 .mu.m area weighted mean equivalent circular diameter and thiourea sensitizer having the structural formula: ##STR1## wherein each of R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, and R.sub.4 independently can represent an alkylene, cycloalkylene, carbocyclic arylene or heterocyclic arylene, alarylene or aralkylene group; or taken together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached, R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 or R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 can complete a 5- to 7-member heterocyclic ring; and

Chemical sensitization of large tabular grain emulsions

A method of sensitizing a silver halide emulsion comprises the steps of:

Co-dispersion of sensitizing dyes

The invention relates to a photographic element comprising at least two photographic emulsions wherein the grains of said at least two emulsions are the same and wherein at least one of said at least two emulsions is treated with a speed decreasing compound.

Mixed grain emulsions of the same grains having different speed

The invention relates to a photographic element comprising at least two photographic emulsions wherein the grains of said at least two emulsions are the same and wherein at least one of said at least two emulsions is treated with a speed decreasing compound of Formula I:

Mixed emulsions of different speed properties using sulfinate and

A silver halide photographic element comprises a silver halide emulsion layer sensitized with a sensitizing dye of Formula I: ##STR1## wherein each of X.sub.1 and X.sub.2 is an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom, or a selenium atom, with the proviso that one of X.sub.1 and X.sub.2 is an oxygen atom and the other is a sulfur or selenium atom; V.sub.1 and V.sub.2 together or V.sub.2 and V.sub.3 together represent the atoms necessary to complete a fused benzene ring; each of V.sub.4 and V.sub.5 is independently a hydrogen or halogen atom, or an alkyl, alkoxy or aryl group; R.sub.1 is an acid substituted alkyl group; R.sub.2 is a 2-sulfoethyl group; and M is a counterion as necessary to balance the charge.
