This invention contemplates a multilayer, multicolor photographic element comprising a support, a plurality of dye-forming hydrophilic colloid containing silver halide emulsion layers which are spectrally sensitized to different regions of the visible spectrum including at least one blue-sensitive emulsion layer, a green-sensitive emulsion layer, and a red-sensitive emulsion layer. Each of the silver halide emulsion layers includes imaging silver having at least 25 weight percent ultrathin tabular grains having a thickness of less than 0.07 microns. One of the silver halide emulsion layers is a topmost silver halide emulsion layer having a water swell percentage which is greater than any other light-sensitive emulsion layer.

Photographic element having ultrathin tabular grains

Color photographic print materials are described in which the surface pH is between about 4.0 and 5.3. The photographic elements have improved keeping properties under adverse conditions of storage.
