In a heat-developable color photo-sensitive material comprising a support bearing thereon a photographic component layer containing at least a photo-sensitive silver halide, a reducing agent, a binder and a dye-providing material; said heat-developable photo-sensitive material characterized in that at least one of said dye-providing materials is a polymer having a repetition unit being derived from a monomer Formula [I] below: ##STR1## wherein , Q represents an ethylene unsaturated group or a group having an ethylene unsaturated group; Z represents a group of atoms required for forming a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic residual group in which a polymerizable ethylene unsaturated bonding may also be incorporated into the heterocyclic ring, together with a nitrogen atom; R.sub.1 represents an alkyl, aryl, alkylamino, anilino, acylamino or ureido group; Ar represents an aryl group or a heterocyclic residual group; and n is an integer of zero or one.

Heat-developable color photo-sensitive material with polymeric coupler

A photographic light-sensitive element having at least one light-sensitive silver halide layer and a dye image forming non-diffusible material which, upon a redox reaction under alkaline conditions releases a diffusible cyan dye or precursor thereof wherein said material is ##STR1## wherein Car represents a carrier component having at least on Ball group as a part thereof which alone or together with other such groups in said Car renders said compound non-diffusible during development in alkaline processing solution, said Car being capable of releasing from said compound a diffusible dye or the precursor thereof as the result of a redox reaction under alkaline conditions:

Photographic light-sensitive element

A photographic recording material. On a support are provided a silver emulsion halide layer and a photographic layer. The photographic layer contains an indole compound represented by the general formula (I): ##STR1## wherein PUG represents a photographically useful group, Ball represents an organic group which has enough molecular weight and/or disposition to render the compound non-diffusible during processing of the photographic recording material with an alkaline medium and wherein the Ball contains a nitrogen atom which is directly attached to the 5th or 6th position of the indole ring. R.sub.1 represents a halogen atom or a monovalent organic group. R.sub.2 represents a hydrogen atom or a low molecular group attached, through a carbon atom, to the 2nd position of the indole ring. 'm' represents an integer of zero to 3.

Photographic recording material with indole redox releaser

A novel silver halide photographic element which contains a nondiffusible complex capable of releasing a diffusible, photographically useful material is disclosed. Said nondiffusible complex becomes active for ligand exchange upon reduction under alkalin conditions to release a diffusible, photographically useful material, said complex being represented by the following formula: ##STR1## wherein La is a quadridentate ligand group; Lb is a didentate ligand group; BALL is a ballast group; PHOTO is a photographically useful material group; Y is a counter ion; and r is the number of counter ions necessary for neutralizing the electric charge on the CO(III) complex.

Silver halide photographic element

A photographic element containing a nondiffusible metal complex capable of releasing a diffusible photographically useful group. The complex contains at least one poly-dentate ligand which contains the photographically useful group. The complex may be activated when reduced under alkaline conditions to release the photographically useful group.

Photographic element with reducible metal complex that releases

A photographic element comprising a support provided thereon with at least one light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing a nondiffusible compound which receives at least one electron in an alkaline condition to release a photographically useful material and a nondiffusible electron donor or a precursor thereof having the following formula (I) or (II): ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 represents hydrogen, an alkyl, an aryl or a heterocyclic group, R.sup.2 represents hydrogen, an alkyl, an aryl, a heterocyclic, an amino, a carbamide, a sulfonamide, a sulfamoyl, a carbamoyl or a ureido group, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 each is hydrogen, --COR.sup.5, --SO.sub.2 R.sup.6 or --CSR.sup.7 wherein R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 each is a substituted or unsubstituted, respectively, alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, heterocyclic, alkylamino, alkyloxy, aryloxy, alkylthio, arylthio, alkyloxycarbonyl or aryloxycarbonyl group, and R.sup.7 is a substituted or unsubstituted alkyllamino or arylamino group, said R.sup.4 being allowed to form a ring together with said R.sup.1.
