Abstract

A redox release compound that is capable upon oxidation of releasing a silver ion complexing heterocyclic thio moiety enables reduction of the concentration of silver required in a photographic silver halide material comprising a combination of (i) photographic silver halide capable of forming a surface latent image, and (ii) a photographic silver halide capable of forming an internal latent image. The silver halide capable of forming an internal latent image preferably has lower photosensitivity than the silver halide capable of forming a surface latent image. The redox release compound preferably comprises a silver ion complexing 1,2,4-triazolium-3-thio moiety. An image is developed in such an exposed photographic silver halide element by means of a surface type silver halide developer.
