Abstract
A process for producing a photosensitive silver halide emulsion is disclosed, comprising silver halide grains and a dispersion medium, said process comprising steps of adding a water-soluble silver solution, an aqueous alkali halide solution and an aqueous solution of gelatin having a molecular weight of 5,000 to 30,000 or less to a mixing vessel different from a reactor for the production of emulsion to prepare silver halide fine grains, adding the silver halide fine grains to the reactor for the production of emulsion to grow silver halide grains, and ultrafiltering the silver halide grains during the addition of silver halide fine grains, wherein 50% or more of the entire projected area of said emulsion grains is occupied by silver halide tabular grains having an aspect ratio of 10 or more and a thickness of 0.15 &mgr;m or less.
