Silver halide emulsions containing tabular silver halide grains are stabilized by the employment of a compound of the formula ##STR1## where R is --SO.sub.2 NH.sub.2, In a preferred embodiment an azaindene is also employed.

Stabilized tabular silver halide grain emulsions

Silver halide emulsions having tabular grains with a mean aspect ratio of at least 10 are prepared by inducing twinning on the (111) crystal plane in silver bromide grains and then growing the grains in a silver halide solvent solution for a time sufficient to provide said tabular grains.

Method for preparing photosensitive silver halide emulsion

Photosensitive silver halide grains are disclosed comprising a shell of silver halide substantially surrounding a water-soluble, non-silver containing grain as a core. Methods for forming silver halide grains having a water-soluble, non-silver containing core are also disclosed.
