A multilayer silver halide color photographic element comprises a support having coated thereon a silver antihalation layer, an interlayer, at least two red-sensitive silver halide emulsion layers, at least two green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layers a yellow filter layer, and at least two blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layers, wherein a silver halide emulsion layer or a nonsensitive layer adjacent thereto comprises a bleach accelerator releasing coupler of formula

Silver halide color photographic element having improved bleachability

A multilayer silver halide color photographic element comprises a support having coated thereon a silver antihalation layer, an interlayer, at least two red-sensitive silver halide emulsion layers, at least two green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layers a yellow filter layer, and at least two blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layers, wherein the interlayer provided between the silver antihalation layer and the red-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer closest to the support contains a bleach accelerator releasing compound, and the silver antihalation layer contains a water-soluble organic thiol. The invention provides reduction in residual silver levels and backside turbidity after processing, without deleteriously affecting sensitometric properties of the photographic element.

Silver halide photographic element comprising a support having coated thereon red-, green- and blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layers comprising, respectively, cyan, magenta and yellow dye-forming couplers, wherein the blue-sensitive emulsion layer comprises at least two blue-sensitive emulsion layers, the uppermost of which has the highest-sensitivity and the lowermost of which has the lowest sensitivity, characterized in that the uppermost highest sensitivity blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer comprises a yellow dye-forming coupler and a cyan dye-forming coupler.

Silver halide photographic elements having improved sensitivity

Light-sensitive silver halide photographic element comprising a support bearing at least a light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer and at least a protective layer being further away from the support than every silver halide emulsion layer, said protective layer containing a gelatin having a viscosity lower than 20 milliPascal per seconds in 10 weight % aqueous solution at 40.degree. C., said gelatin being hardened with a carbamoyl pyridinium salt compound having the following formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2, which may be the same or different, each represents an alkyl group, an aryl group or an aralkyl group, or R.sub.1 and R.sub.2, together, constitute the atoms required to form a heterocyclic ring with the nitrogen atom to which they are bonded, R.sub.3 represents hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, a carbamoyl group, or a ureido group, and R.sub.4 represents an alkylene group or a single chemical bond between the pyridinium nucleus and the --SO.sub.3 -- group.

Hardened silver halide photographic elements

Silver halide photographic element comprising a support and at least one silver halide emulsion layer, characterised in that said silver halide emulsion layer is spectrally sensitized to infrared radiation with a tricarbocyanine dye having the formula: ##STR1## wherein, Z.sub.1 and Z.sub.2 each independently represents the atoms necessary to complete a thiazole nucleus or an oxazole nucleus, Z.sub.3 represents the atoms necessary to complete a 5-membered N-containing aromatic ring, Q represents the atoms necessary to complete a 5- or 6-membered carbocyclic ring, R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 each independently represents an alkyl group, X.sup.- represents an anion, and n represents an integer of 1 to 2, provided that n is 1 when the dye forms an intramolecular salt.
