摘要： A process is disclosed of preparing a photographic emulsion containing tabular silver halide grains exhibiting a reduced degree of total grain dispersity. After forming a population of silver halide grain nuclei containing parallel twin planes, a portion of the silver halide grain nuclei are ripened out. The silver halide grain nuclei containing parallel twin planes remaining are then grown to form tabular silver halide grains. The total grain dispersity of the emulsion is reduced by incorporating bromide ion in the dispersing medium prior to forming the silver halide grain nuclei and, at the time parallel twin planes are formed in the silver halide grain nuclei, a polyalkylene oxide block copolymer surfactant containing at least three terminal lipophilic alkylene oxide block units each linked through a hydrophilic alkylene oxide block linking unit accounting for at least 4 percent of the molecular weight of the copolymer.

摘要： A process of preparing a photographic emulsion having radiation-sensitive silver iodohalide grains. Iodide is introduced into the grains by releasing iodide ions from iodate (IO.sub.3.sup.-). Release of iodide ions from the IO.sub.3.sup.- is employed to enhance the uniformity of iodide availability during emulsion preparation, either during grain precipitation or subsequent halide conversion. The process of the invention is in one preferred form directed to the partial halide conversion of tabular grains. A speed-granularity advantage is demonstrated.

摘要： A method is disclosed of extracting two or more spectral image records from an imagewise exposed multicolor photographic element containing a plurality of tabular grain emulsions for individually recording imagewise exposure in at least two different regions of the visible spectrum. In each of the tabular grain emulsions tabular grains exhibiting a mean equivalent circular diameter of greater than 0.4 micrometer and a mean thickness of less than 0.2 micrometer account for greater than 90 percent of total grain projected area. No more than one of the tabular grain emulsions exhibits a mean tabular grain thickness of less than 0.07 micrometers, and each of tile remaining tabular grain emulsions exhibit a coefficient of variation of tabular grain thickness of less than 15 percent. The mean tabular grain thickness of emulsions for recording imagewise exposure to different regions of the visible spectrum differs by at least 0.02 micrometer. The imagewise exposed element is photographically processed to develop silver halide grains as a function of exposure and to remove developed silver. The processed photographic element is scanned in a first spectral wavelength region at which the tabular grains in a first of the emulsions reflect to a greater degree than the tabular grains of any emulsion which has recorded imagewise exposure in a different region of the spectrum, and the processed photographic element is also scanned in a second spectral wavelength region within which the tabular grains in a second of the emulsions reflect.

摘要： Silver halide emulsions are disclosed in which at least 50 percent of total grain projected area is accounted for by tabular grains (1) bounded by {100} major faces having adjacent edge ratios of less than 10, (2) each having an aspect ratio of at least 2, and (3) internally at their nucleation site containing iodide and at least 50 mole percent chloride. The emulsions are prepared by a process comprised of the steps of (a) introducing silver and halide salts into a dispersing medium so that nucleation of the tabular grains occurs in the presence of iodide with chloride accounting for at least 50 mole percent of the halide present in the dispersing medium and the pCl of the dispersing medium being maintained in the range of from 0.5 to 3.5 and (b) following nucleation completing grain growth under conditions that maintain the {100} major faces of the tabular grains.

摘要： An adapter for use in a processing assembly can interface paper in magazines or cassettes from external printers with a minilab printer so that the paper printed externally can be processed using the minilab's processor and the processor's replenishment system. The adapter which includes a light-tight feed slot is configured to receive a cassette thereon and the adapter can be mounted onto the processing assembly. When mounted on the processing assembly the adapter along with the feed slot forms a light-tight path from the cassette to the printer. Printer functions such as back-marking, printing, punching, etc. can be deactivated during use of the adapter, and photosensitive material which enters the printer through the feed-slot of the adapter will follow the printing path of the printer and thereby trigger checks which are utilized to control replenishment in the processor of the processing assembly. With this arrangement, photosensitive material or paper which does not require the printer functions of the printer, such as paper that has been printed at an external printer, can be fed into the printer to follow the normal printing path. Since the paper follows the normal printing path, checks within the printer such as paper size and/or width are triggered via signals and these signals are utilized to provide for correct replenishment in the processor.
