The present invention relates to a color photographic recording material which contains, in at least one layer between the substrate and light-sensitive emulsion layer situated nearest to the substrate, a compound of formula (I)

Color photographic recording material

Photographic silver halide material

A color photographic recording material having a film support and, arranged thereon, at least one red-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing a cyan coupler, at least one green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing a magenta coupler, at least one blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing a yellow coupler and optionally further non-photosensitive layers contains, in addition to conventional sensitizing dyes, in at least one of the red-sensitive silver halide emulsion layers thereof and in at least one of the green-sensitive emulsion layers thereof at least one cyanine dye in each layer having an absorption maximum in a methanolic solution in the range from 515 to 550 nm, wherein the absorption maxima of the additional cyanine dye in the red-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer and of the additional cyanine dye in the green-sensitive layer, in each case measured in a methanolic solution, are no more than 10 nm and preferably no more than 5 nm apart. In a preferred embodiment, the additional cyanine dye in the red-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer is identical to the additional cyanine dye in the green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer. The recording material exhibits improved sensitivity and improved color reproduction.

A color photographic silver halide material contains on a support at least one red-sensitive, cyan-coupling, at least one green-sensitive, magenta-coupling and at least one blue-sensitive, yellow-coupling silver halide emulsion layer together with interlayers between layers of different colour sensitivity, wherein at least one of the stated interlayers contains at least one masking coupler, the masking coupler having a reaction rate constant for the coupling reaction with the developer oxidation product of .gtoreq.5000 1-mol.sup.- .cndot.s.sup.-1, is distinguished improved sensitivity without increase of granularity.

Color photographic silver halide material

A colour photographic silver halide material with at least two blue-sensitive, yellow-coupling silver halide emulsion layers of differing photographic sensitivity, at least two green-sensitive, magenta-coupling silver halide emulsions layers of differing photographic sensitivity and at least two red-sensitive, cyan-coupling silver halide emulsion layers of differing photographic sensitivity, at least one interlayer Z-1 below the lowermost red-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer and/or at least one interlayer Z-2 below the lowermost green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, in which material a coupler is additionally used in at least one silver halide emulsion layer, which coupler couples to yield a colour which is not complementary to the spectral sensitisation of the layer concerned, and Z-1 and/or Z-2 contain a silver halide emulsion which has tabular grains with an aspect ratio of &gt;2, an average diameter of a sphere of equal volume of .gtoreq.0.3 .mu.m and a diameter of a circle of equal projected surface area of the tabular grains of .gtoreq.0.3 .mu.m, is distinguished by improved sensitivity and an improved sensitivity/grain ratio.

A color photographic silver halide material which contains as photosensitive layers on a support at least one red-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing at least one cyan coupler, at least one green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing at least one magenta coupler and at least one blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing at least one yellow coupler, in which, above a photosensitive layer (seen from the support outwards), at least one further layer is provided which contains a colorless compound or combination of colorless compounds, which under processing conditions after exposure gives rise to a uniform, slight color density of a predetermined color and predetermined density over the entire surface, allows correction of the print densities without sensitivity being reduced.

The grain/sensitivity ratio of a photographic silver halide material may be improved by adding a compound of the formula I to one of its layers. The material moreover exhibits a low increase in fog on storage. ##STR1## in which: Y.sub.1, Y.sub.2, Y.sub.3 each mean one of the following residues ##STR2## R.sub.1 to R.sub.34 mean H, alkyl or aryl; two residues (R.sub.1 to R.sub.34) located on the same N atom may complete a 5-, 6- or greater-membered ring containing at least one N atom and optionally further heteroatoms; two residues (R.sub.1 to R.sub.34) located on adjacent N atoms may complete a ring involving both N atoms and at least one P atom;
