Photographic silver halide material developed in the presence of a novel antifogging or stabilizing compound which is present in the material and/or in the developing composition and corresponds to the following formula: ##STR1## wherein: Q is sulphur or selenium

Novel antifogging and/or stabilizing compounds for silver halide

A recording process, wherein an organic reducing compound being present in a supported or self-supporting layer and corresponding to one of the following general formulae (I) and (II): ##STR1## wherein: R.sub.1 represents hydrogen, an aliphatic group or a cycloaliphatic group, and

Thermographic material

A method is described of developing a photographic silver halide element containing developable silver halide by development in the presence of a development accelerator which is a polyaddition compound having recurring units of the following general formula, the recurring units containing at least one thioether sulphur atom linked to two carbon atoms: ##STR1## wherein: Q is --O--, --S--, --S alkylene S-- or --O alkylene O-- wherein the alkylene group may be interrupted by oxygen or sulphur,

Development of photographic silver halide material

Image-receiving material for the production of photographic copies in a dry manner with a layer containing a nonlight-sensitive silver salt and a phthalazinone compound corresponding to the following general formula : ##STR1## wherein : R represents 1. an aliphatic group including a cycloaliphatic group and such groups in substituted form,

Photothermographic recording sheet

A method of developing an exposed lith-type silver halide emulsion is described wherein development takes place in the presence of a sulphonium compound corresponding to the formula: ##STR1## wherein: EACH OF X.sub.1 and X.sub.2 represents an alkyl group at least one of which carries a hydroxy, carboxy, sulpho or cyano group,

Development of exposed lith-emulsions

Direct-positive emulsions are described comprising incorporated developing agents wherein the developing agents are 1,4-dihydroxybenzene compounds of which at least one of the hydroxyl groups has been esterified to form a hydrolyzable aliphatic acyloxy group comprising a quaternary ammonium group.

Direct-positive silver halide emulsions having incorporated developers

Polyoxyethylene compounds carrying thioether groups as substituents on the linear chain are described for accelerating or activating development of exposed silver halide elements.

Development of photographic silver halide elements

Thermographic recording material or image-receiving material for dry copying processes comprising at least one layer and a substantially non-photosensitive reducible silver salt, a reducing agent, and optionally a toning agent or toning mixture, wherein the reducing agent corresponds to the following general formula: ##STR1## wherein: EACH OF R.sup.1, R.sup.3 and R.sup.5 (equal or different) represents hydrogen, a straight-chain or branched alkyl group comprising 1 to 9 carbon atoms, or a cycloalkyl group, with the proviso that R.sup.1 and R.sup.5 do not represent hydrogen simultaneously,

Recording materials and image receiving materials for producing copies

A method of producing a colored image by developing a latent silver image obtained by the image-wise photo-exposure of a photosensitive silver halide material, wherein the development is carried out with p-phenylenediamine corresponding to the following general formula: ##STR1## wherein: EACH OF R'.sub.1, R'.sub.2, R'.sub.3, and R'.sub.4 (same or different) represents an alkyl group, in the presence of

Formation of azine dyes

A recording process, wherein an organic reducing compound being present in a supported or self-supporting layer and corresponding to one of the following general formulae (I) and (II): ##EQU1## wherein: R.sub.1 represents hydrogen, an aliphatic group of a cycloaliphatic group, and

Thermographic recording process

A method is described for developing silver halide emulsions wherein development is activated by incorporating in the developing composition or the emulsion a homopolymer or copolymer comprising (meth)acrylate or (meth)acrylamide units in which the ester linked or amide linked group contains at least one thioether sulphur atom.

Development promoting compounds for silver halide photography

Heterocyclic mercapto compounds are added to a binder layer containing colloidal silver which is comprised in a color photographic multilayer material. The colloidal silver layer may be a yellow filter layer to prevent exposure of the green, and red recording layers to blue light, or an antihalation layer arranged between the layer support and the lowermost light sensitive silver halide emulsion layer. The heterocyclic mercapto compounds reduce the contact fog produced in the (first) developer and increase color density in reversal processing. Additionally there can be present in the colloidal silver layer a sensitizer for the blue, green or red spectral region.
