Abstract
A reversal photographic element comprising a support and, coated on said support, at least one image recording emulsion layer comprised of: a) a light sensitive silver halide imaging emulsion; and b) a non-image forming silver halide emulsion having an average grain size less than 0.3 &mgr;m and which comprises at least 13 percent of the total silver in the image recording layer, wherein the non-image forming silver halide emulsion comprises at least 1 mole percent iodide, and the iodide mole percentage of the non-image forming silver halide emulsion is equal to or higher than that of the imaging emulsion. The combination of the imaging emulsion and a higher iodide concentration non-imaging emulsion in an imaging layer gives an increase in interlayer interimage effects, increasing the color of the film.
