摘要： A method for processing imagewise exposed silver halide light sensitive motion picture photographic print film elements, the method comprising: i) classifying imagewise exposed print film elements containing cyan, magenta and yellow dye-forming couplers present at levels sufficient to provide Visual densities of at least 3.3 when completely consumed as either a relatively high silver containing element or a relatively low silver containing element; ii) providing a developer solution comprising greater than 2.1 g/l Color Developing Agent CD-2, greater than 0.3 and less than 2.1 g/l of Sodium Bromide (Anhydrous), and a buffering agent to maintain pH in the range of from about 10 to about 12; iii) developing imagewise exposed print film elements which have been classified as relatively low silver containing elements in a development step wherein the exposed print film is first processed in the developer solution provided in step ii) above, and in a subsequent development amplification step wherein the exposed print film is processed in an amplifier solution comprising bromide salt and an oxidizing agent; and iv) developing imagewise exposed print film elements which have been classified as relatively high silver containing elements in a development step wherein the exposed print film is processed in the developer solution provided in ii) above. In preferred embodiments, elements which have been classified as relatively high silver containing elements and which have been imagewise developed in step iv) by processing in the developer solution provided in ii) are not subjected to a subsequent development amplification step as defined in step iii). The invention provides increased stability of development amplification processing solutions by the use of separate development and amplification baths. The invention also enables commercial operations of motion picture print film continuous processors to capture the advantages of development amplification, and permits flexibility of commercial operations to practice both amplified and unamplified processes with minimal disruption.

摘要： Processing color motion picture film to yield a dye-only, “silverless” soundtrack enables reduced silver levels to be incorporated into all three color image records of a motion picture print film while still providing a good soundtrack signal in the resulting processed film. A silver halide light sensitive motion picture photographic print element is disclosed comprising a support bearing on one side thereof: a blue color sensitive, yellow dye image-forming record comprising at least one blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion having associated therewith yellow dye-forming coupler; a red color sensitive, cyan dye image-forming record comprising at least one red-sensitive silver halide emulsion having associated therewith cyan dye-forming coupler; and a green color sensitive, magenta dye image-forming record comprising at least one green-sensitive silver halide emulsion having associated therewith magenta dye-forming coupler; wherein each of the silver halide emulsions have an average grain size of less than 1 micrometer and comprise at least 50 mol percent chloride, based on silver, the silver halide emulsions in total comprise from 500-1350 mg/m2 silver, the cyan, magenta and yellow dye-forming couplers are present at levels sufficient to provide visual densities of at least 3.3 when completely consumed, the silver to dye-forming coupler stoichiometric equivalent molar ratio in each of the image-forming records is less than 1.4, and the silver to dye-forming coupler stoichiometric equivalent molar ratio in at least one of the image-forming records is less than 1.0.
