The photographic element of the invention provides a support bearing at least one photographic silver halide emulsion exhibiting low developability and having associated therewith at least one high dye-yield coupler that releases a dye or dye precursor having an electrically neutral dye chromophore. The invention also encompasses a process for forming an image in an element in accordance with the invention.

Photographic element with silver halide emulsion layer of low

A method of producing a dye image by processing an imagewise exposed color photographic element containing at least one silver halide emulsion layer, the emulsion layer being comprised of both latent image and non-latent image containing silver halide grains, and having a distribution of Compound X, Compound X being either a ballasted coupler capable of reacting with an oxidized developing agent of a developing solution, or a ballasted developing agent capable, in an oxidized state, of reacting with a component of a developing solution, said method comprising:

Process of forming a dye image

The invention is generally accomplished by providing an inverted order film in which the lowermost light sensitive layer is a blue-sensitive layer of blue-sensitized tabular grains. The blue-sensitized tabular grains are preferably sensitized to a wavelength of between 450 and 520 nm. The blue-sensitive layer is preferably sensitized in the blue region that has the maximum blue light transmission through the green and red sensitized layers overlaying the blue sensitized layer,

Blue sensitized tabular emulsions for inverted record order film

A color negative photographic recording material is described in which low emulsion coverage tabular grain silver halide emulsion imaging units are employed. The silver halide emulsion in at least one of the units comprises grains having a tabularity of between about 50 and 25,000. The imaging unit thickness is less than about 4.0 .mu.m, using a total of no more than 2.0 parts by weight of silver per part of coupler. The imaging unit yields a density of at least 2.0 when exposed and processed.

Color photographic recording material and process

High aspect ratio chemically and spectrally sensitized tabular grain silver halide emulsions, photographic elements incorporating these emulsions, and processes for the use of the photographic elements are disclosed. In the tabular grain emulsions the silver halide grains having a thickness of less than 0.3 micron and a diameter of at least 0.6 micron have a high aspect ratio and account for at least 50 percent of the total projected area of the silver halide grains present.
