Abstract:
The invention provides a multicolor photographic element comprising a support bearing at least two silver halide emulsion layers having different sensitivities to blue light, a silver halide emulsion layer sensitive to green light, and a silver halide emulsion layer sensitive to red light, wherein:
(1) the element comprises a compound of formula (I): wherein
R 1 and R 2 independently represent H, an alkyl group or an aryl group, provided that R 1 and R 2 may be joined to form a ring; R 3 is selected from the group consisting of H, alkyl, aryl, and acyl groups; R 4 and R 5 are independently selected from the group consisting of H, OH, alkyl, and aryl groups; n is 1 or 2; and (2) the silver halide emulsion layer of the element that is most sensitive to blue light contains a silver halide grain population such that from 3 to 20 wt% of the total silver halide grains in the emulsion layer have a size (equivalent circular diameter) less than 0.2 micrometers.
The element exhibits an improved combination of blue speed, raw stock keeping, and latent image keeping.

Abstract:
A corner development type silver halide photographic emulsion is disclosed, wherein the silver halide crystals in the silver halide emulsion are cubic or tetradecahedral grains having at least substantial (100) planes and the emulsion is controlled so that at least 70% of developed silver halide crystals (grains), which are observed on applying a light exposure of 1/50 second to the emulsion under the light-exposure condition corresponding to (maximum density - minimum density) x 3/4 of the silver image in the characteristic curve of the emulsion obtained by the developer, developing under the development condition which are used for processing a photographic light-sensitive material formed by coating the emulsion on a support, and stopping the development with an aqueous solution of 5% glacial acetic acid just after the initiation of the development, are developed at the corners of the cubic or tetradecahedral crystals or at the vicinity of the comers.

A photographic light-sensitive material comprising a support having thereon at least one light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, characterized in that the emulsion layer contains silver chlorobromide prepared in such a manner that silver halide regular crystal grains, having no twinning crystal plane and containing 50 mol% or more of silver chloride, are used as host grains, an organic compound is adsorbed on a surface of each of the host grains, and sulfur-plus-gold sensitization is performed, either during or after halide conversion in the presence of a bromide.
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.

A silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material comprising a support arranged thereon with red-sensitive layers, green-sensitive layers and blue-sensitive layers each comprising not less than two silver halide emulsion layers which are different in sensitivity from each other, satisfying the following four requirements;
a. The highest blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer (BH) of said blue-sensitive layers in so arranged as to serve as the silver halide emulsion layer in the farthest position from said support. b. The highest green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer (GH) of said blue-sensitive layers and the highest red-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer (RH) of said red-sensitive layers are interposed between said blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer (BH) and a blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer (Bh) which is lower in sensitivity than said emulsion layer (BH). c. Anyone of the lowest sensitive silver halide emulsion layers (BL, GL and RL, respectively) of said blue-sensitive layers, green-sensitive layers and red-sensitive layers is not on the further side from the support with respect to said blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, (Bh), and d. A non-light-sensitive hydrophilic colloidal layer is arranged adjacent to said blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer (Bh).
