A reflective silver halide photographic light-sensitive material is disclosed. The light-sensitive material comprises a reflective support having thereon a silver halide emulsion layer wherein the support have an oxygen permeability of not more than 2.0 ml/m.sup.2 .multidot.hr.multidot.atm and the silver halide emulsion layer contains a magenta coupler represented by the following Formula I; ##STR1## wherein Ar is an aryl group; Y is a hydrogen atom or a substituent capable of splitting off upon reaction with the oxidation product of a color developing agent; X is a halogen atom, an alkoxy group or an alkyl group; R is a strait- or branched-chain alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms; J is a strait- or branched-chain alkylene group; and n is an integer of from 0 to 4, when n is 2 or more, the plurality of Xs may be the same or different. The light-sensitive material is excellent in red color reproducibility and light fastness of red colored images.

Silver halide photographic light sensitive material

A silver halide photographic emulsion containing silver halide grains having a silver chloride content of not less than 90 mol % and a method for preparing thereof are disclosed, wherein the silver halide grains are obtained by forming said silver halide grains in the presence of a water-soluble iridium compound and a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound capable of forming sparingly-soluble silver salt; and by controlling the addition of said iridium compound, whereby the photographic emulsion is improved in the dependence of gradation on exposure intensity.

Silver halide photographic emulsion prepared with silver halide grains

A light-sensitive silver halide photographic material which comprises a support and provided thereon a silver halide emulsion layer containing silver halide grains of which silver chloride content is not less than 90 mol %, and which have been formed in the presence of an iridium compound and a nitrogen containing heterocyclic compound, and under acidic condition is disclosed.
