Abstract
An improvement in the stability of a direct positive emulsion layer in photographic material is obtained by the inclusion of a compound which provides in the image-wise exposed and developed direct positive emulsion layer a greater difference between the density of the image in the unexposed parts of the layer and the density in the exposed parts. The compound provides in the emulsion a characteristic curve related to a density value at maximum density which is at least twice the analogous density value at minimum density.
