Abstract:
The silver halide grain finishing involves adding a silver halide fine grain emulsion to a high chloride silver halide emulsion during a chemical sensitisation heat cycle. The fine grain emulsion has a photographically useful cpd. adhered to the grain surfaces. The cpd. is a UV absorber, sensitising dye, brightener, antifoggant, luminescent dye, supersensitiser, stabiliser, light absorbing and scattering material, coating aid, plasticiser, lubricant or antistatic agent. Pref. the high chloride emulsion contg. stabiliser were added after 35 minutes at 65[deg]C. (e) 0.03 mg/mole of K Ir(IV) hexachloride was added as an aq. soln. after 43 mins. at 65[deg]C. (f) a fine grain AgBr (0.05-0.1mu ) emulsion (1 mol% of total Ag) carrying 10-3mg/mole of the mercaptan antifoggant after 45 mins. at 65[deg]C, and (g) after 65 mins. at 65[deg]C the emulsion was cooled back to 40[deg]C. The fine grain AgBr emulsion was mixed with the mercaptan cpd. and held at 40[deg]C prior to its addn. to the AgCl emulsion. The prepd. emulsion was incorporated in a multicolour; multilayer photographic material which was then exposed and processed. The emulsion layer had the following characteristics for the fresh emulsion speed (S) sensitivity = 1.22 (1.23), shoulder density (SD) = 1.53 (1.62), toe density (7D) = 0.20 (0.19), and Dmin = 0.103 (0.104), following incubation at 120[deg]F for 28 days ~DS = +0.02(+0.22), ~D2S = -0.004(-0.08), ~DTD = 0.00 (+0.08) ~DDmin = + 0.017(+0.070).

Abstract:
A silver halide photographic light-sensitive material comprising a support having on at least one side thereof a silver halide emulsion layer comprising a silver halide emulsion containing silver halide grains, which is prepared by a process comprising forming the silver halide emulsion by mixing a silver salt and a halide salt in a dispersing medium and subjecting the emulsion formed to chemical ripening, wherein said silver halide grains are selenium-sensitized by adding a selenium compound during a period of the course of forming the silver halide emulsion and chemical ripening thereof; said grains being spectrally sensitized with a spectral sensitizing dye represented by the following Formula (I) or Formula (II),
Abstract:
An ultra-high contrast silver halide photographic material which is suitable for daylight use and which has at least one silver halide emulsion layer on a support, wherein the emulsion layer contains cubic silver halide grains having a mean grain size of 0.15 um or less and containing silver chloride in an amount of 99 mol% or more. The material can contain a rhodium salt or an organic desensitizer for lowering the sensitivity while maintaining the high contrast photographic property thereof.
Abstract:
A photograhic image is formed with silver halide emulsions by using optically unsensitized light sensitive (coarse) silver halide grains. Optically (or spectrally) sensitized fine grains (or crystals or particles), - especially light insensitive or Lippmann silver halide grains-, can be reactively associated with optically (or spectrally) unsensitized light sensitive (coarse) silver halide grains to get a combination of Spectrally Sensitized Fine Grains with Spectrally Unsensitized Light Sensitive or Coarse Grains, - especially Tabular Grains -, which can be imagewise exposed (to the light absorbed by the dye sensitizer adsorbed on the surface of such fine grains) and developed with substantially the same sensitivity of the light sensitive optically sensitized (coarse) silver halide grains.
Abstract:
A method for processing a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material. The material has, on a support, at least one light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer comprising a light-sensitive silver halide emulsion, a compound that forms a dye by a coupling reaction with a developing agent in an oxidized form, and a binder. The method comprises processing the light-sensitive material such that a silver density of the at least one light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer during development is 4 x 10 g/m or more.
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 µm 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.
