Abstract
In a reversal process for the formation of color photographic images which consists of a black and white development (first development) to obtain a first negative image, followed by exposure and/or uniform fogging of the residual silver halide and a further processing (including a second color development), to obtain a second visible (in transparency) color positive image, of a silver halide color multilayer material which comprises, coated on a support base, one or more red-sensitive silver halide emulsion layers associated with dispersed non-diffusing hydrophobic cyan couplers, one or more green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layers associated with dispersed non-diffusing hydrophobic magenta couplers and one or more blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layers associated with dispersed non-diffusing hydrophobic yellow couplers, the improvement which consists of the reversal development of said magenta-forming layer being performed in the absence of a significant presence of oil.
