Abstract
A silver halide light sensitive photographic print element is disclosed comprising a support bearing on one side thereof: a blue color sensitive record comprising at least one blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion yellow-image forming layer, a red color sensitive record comprising at least one red-sensitive silver halide emulsion cyan-image forming layer, and a green color sensitive record comprising at least one green-sensitive silver halide emulsion magenta-image forming layer; wherein the overall contrast (OC) of the green record is greater than 1.7, the mid-scale contrast (MSC) of the green record is less than 2.6, and the upper-scale contrast (USC) of the green record is from 2.85 to 3.15, wherein the parameters OC, MSC and USC are as defined herein. Color print film silver halide photographic elements in accordance with the invention enable the production of outstanding projected images having improved flesh tone and shadow detail reproduction, and sufficiently high black densities.
