Abstract
Direct-positive photographic emulsions and elements which include internal-image silver halide grains, a nucleating amount of a hydrazine compound and a redox dye releaser are improved by the incorporation of a nucleation-promoting amount of a quinone oxidizing agent. Diffusion transfer images made from elements using these emulsions exhibit improved image discrimination and improved maximum density.
