A process for producing a silver halide photographic emulsion by supplying a solution of a water-soluble silver salt and a solution of a water-soluble halide in the presence of a protective colloid is disclosed, said process comprising, in sequence:

Process for producing silver halide photographic emulsion

Disclosed is a light-sensitive silver halide photographic material comprising at least one layer of green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer (GH), at least one layer of red-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer (RH) and a plural number of blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layers with different sensitivities, provided on a support, which is characterized in that one of the said plural number of blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layers is provided as a silver halide emulsion layer (BH) positioned at the farthest side from the support, at least one layer GH and at least one layer RH are provided between the layer BH and a blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer lower in sensitivity than the layer BH, and further fine grains of silver halide are contained in at least one of the said blue-sensitive emulsion layer of lower sensitivity and a layer adjacent thereto. The fine grains of silver halide may have a blue-sensitive sensitizing dye adsorbed on the surfaces thereof.

Light-sensitive silver halide color photographic material

There is disclosed a light-sensitive silver halide color photographic material having red-sensitive, green-sensitive and blue-sensitive emulsion layers, each layer consisting of two or more layers with different sensitivities on a support, wherein the layers are constituted so as to satisfy the following requirements (A), (B), (C) and (D): (A) of the respective emulsion layers having the highest sensitivities among the the red-sensitive, green-sensitive and blue-sensitive emulsion layers, the highest sensitivity blue-sensitive emulsion layer is provided on the side farthest from the support; (B) at least the the highest sensitivity red-sensitive emulsion layer and the highest sensitivity green-sensitive emulsion layer are provided between the the highest blue-sensitive emulsion layer and a blue-sensitive emulsion layer with lower sensitivity; (C) none of the respective red-sensitive, green-sensitive and blue-sensitive emulsion layers having the lowest sensitivities exists on the side farther than the low sensitivity blue-sensitive emulsion layer from the support; and (D) contained in at least one layer of the high sensitivity red-sensitive, green-sensitive and blue-sensitive layers, is a diffusion-resistant compound capable of forming a mobile dye through the coupling reaction with the oxidized product of a chromogenic developing agent. The light-sensitive material according to this invention exhibits excellent photographic characteristics such as graininess, sharpness and sensitivity.

Light-sensitive silver halide color photographic material having

A silver halide color photographic material having blue-, green- and red-sensitive silver halide emulsion layers coated on a support is provided, each of said layers being composed of a plurality of sub-layers having different sensitivities. In said material, at least a red-sensitive silver halide emulsion sub-layer having high sensitivity is provided between a first green-sensitive silver halide emulsion sub-layer of high sensitivity and a second green-sensitive silver halide emulsion sub-layer having a lower sensitivity than said first green-sensitive sub-layer, said first green-sensitive sub-layer and/or said red-sensitive sub-layer with high sensitivity giving a maximum color density of formed dye in said material higher than 0.6 but not exceeding 1.3.

Silver halide color photographic material of high sensitivity and

A process of preparing a silver halide emulsion comprising mixing a water-soluble silver salt solution with a water-soluble halide solution in the presence of a protective colloid. Silver halide grains are formed which are octahedral or tetra decahedral silver iodobromide containing at least 4 mol % silver iodide. A tetrazaindene compound is added to the mixture before the completion of the addition of the silver salt solution.
