Electrically-conductive articles are prepared to have electrically-conductive silver metal electrode grids on one or both supporting sides of a transparent substrate. Such articles are prepared by imagewise exposing conductive film element precursors having photosensitive silver halide layers, followed by development, fixing, and conductivity enhancement. The resulting silver image(s) can be treated with a stabilizing solution containing 0.5-50 mmol/l of specific stabilizing agents.

Method for preparing electrically-conductive silver images

A black-and-white developing solution and a silver halide solution physical developing solution are used in sequence to provide electrically-conductive film elements from conductive film element precursors that contain photosensitive silver halide emulsions on one or both supporting sides of a transparent substrate. The two developing solutions have unique combinations of developing agents and other essential components to provide complete development of imagewise exposed silver halide and highly conductive silver metal in desired patterns on a transparent substrate.

An aqueous, homogeneous, single-part color developing concentrate comprises a color developing agent in free base form and an organic antioxidant. The concentrate also includes a water-miscible or water-soluble organic co-solvent and a quaternary ammonium salt to enhance its stability. The concentrate can be used to make a working strength processing solution, or it can be used as a replenishing composition with proper dilution, and is particularly useful for processing color negative or color reversal photographic silver halide films.

Photographic element and compound and process useful therewith

A conditioning or bleach accelerating solution can be used to process color photographic films, especially color reversal films, to minimize magenta dye fade while reducing the needed amount of formaldehyde stabilizer. These advantageous effects are achieved by including a secondary amine in the solution along with a formaldehyde precursor and a bleach accelerator.

Novel photographic filter dyes are immobile as incorporated in a photographic element, but during processing, are uniformly converted to a form which is removable from the element. 2 The filter dye is represented by the structure:
