A camera and film for recording overlapping visual images and digital data is disclosed. The camera includes a structure for recording the region of a film with visible light to record a visible image in one or more record layer(s) sensitized to visible light; and a structure for recording in the region of the film with non-visible light to record digital data in one or more record layer(s) sensitized to non-visible light, whereby overlapping visual and digital data images are recorded in the same region.

Camera and film for recording overlapping images

A color reversal element having a red sensitive layer containing a cyan dye forming coupler, a green sensitive layer containing a magenta dye forming coupler, and a blue sensitive layer containing a yellow dye forming coupler, the red, green and blue sensitive layers each having a speed .gtoreq.120 as measured at a density of 0.3, a Dmax of .gtoreq.3.30 and a .increment.logE .ltoreq.1.85 measured from a density of 0.20 to 3.20, the Dmax and .increment.logE being measured following exposure and processing of the element. Daylight and tungsten balanced versions of the film are also provided. A method for processing such films and exposing them in electronic film writers is also provided. Film of the present invention allows a wide range of density values in an original film to be more faithfully reproduced and enable more faithful reproduction of colors recorded in the original scanned film.

Color reversal electronic output film

A reversal photographic element, preferably a color reversal element, is provided with development inhibitors of a defined class, and an absorber dye. The combination improves acutance. The element has a light sensitive layer containing latent image forming silver halide grains, and an inhibitor containing compound in the light sensitive layer or a non-imaging record associated with the light sensitve layer, the compound having the structural formula

Method of processing reversal elements comprising selected development

An improved color reversal element is disclosed capable of development in black and white developer, and of development in a color developer comprising:

Image information in color reversal materials using weak and strong

A multicolor photographic element capable of forming a viewable reversal dye image is disclosed comprising a support and, coated on the support, a blue recording yellow dye image forming layer unit, a green recording magenta dye image forming layer unit, and a red recording cyan dye image forming layer unit, each of the layer units containing in at least one layer a silver halide emulsion having a grain halide content of from 0 to 5 mole percent chloride, from. 0.5 to 20 mole percent iodide, and from 80 to 99.5 mole percent bromide, based on total silver. The photographic element is characterized in that at least one of the silver halide emulsion layers is a tabular grain emulsion layer in which the coefficient of variation of the tabular grain emulsion is less than 15 percent, based on the total grain population of the emulsion, and the total grain population of the tabular emulsion consists essentially of tabular grains having a mean thickness of less than 0.3 .mu.m and a mean tabularity of greater than 25.

Reversal photographic elements containing tabular grain emulsions

A multicolor photographic element capable of forming a viewable reversal dye image is disclosed comprising a support and, coated on the support, a blue recording yellow dye image forming layer unit, a green recording magenta dye image forming layer unit, and a red recording cyan dye image forming layer unit, each of the dye image forming layer units containing at least one silver halide emulsion layer comprised of a vehicle and silver halide grains having (1) a halide content of from 0 to 5 mole percent chloride, from 0.1 to 20 mole percent iodide, and from 80 to 99.9 mole percent bromide, based on total silver. At least one of the silver halide emulsion layers in one of the layer units positioned to receive exposing radiation prior to at least one of the green or red recording layer units is a tabular grain emulsion layer in which a polyalkylene oxide block copolymer is present selected to allow the preparation of tabular grains having a mean thickness of less than 0.3 .mu.m and a mean tabularity of greater than 25, accounting for greater than 97 percent of the total projected area of grains having an equivalent circular diameter of at least 0.2 .mu.m.
