The present invention relates to an imaging member comprising poultry gelatin. In one embodiment, the poultry gelatin is located preferably in at least one layer in the upper half of said imaging member comprising poultry gelatin. Another embodiment provides an aqueous coating composition comprising poultry gelatin.

Photographic element containing acid processed gelatin

A method of reducing the tendency toward formation of coating non-uniformities in the coating of multilayer photographic elements is disclosed. More particularly, the present invention involves the coating of a non-gelatin coating over a topmost gelatin layer in a photographic element. In one embodiment, a processing-solution-permeable overcoat is simultaneously coated with the emulsion layers onto a photographic substrate, which overcoat becomes water and stain resistant in the photochemically processed product. In the latter embodiment, the overcoat formulation comprises at least one water-dispersible hydrophobic polymer interspersed with a water-soluble polymer.
