Abstract
The present invention features a negative-type, silver halide photographic emulsion containing hydrazides that has reduced scratch sensitivity (i.e., the emulsion will have a reduced tendency to develop black scratches on non-exposed areas). The emulsion will resist developing black scratches due to the introduction to the emulsion of hydroquinone and ascorbate. The stability of the emulsion is further enhanced by the addition of sodium formaldehyde bisulfite.
