Photographic elements are described which comprise a support, at least one image-forming layer, and at least one surface protective layer that contains a polymeric binder and composite wax particles having a wax phase and a polymer phase, wherein the polymer phase is soluble in alkaline photographic processing solutions. The surface protective layer advantageously enables a change in frictional characteristics after film processing in alkaline solutions which enables the photographic element to have both pre-processed wound roll stability and high post-processed lubricity.
