Abstract:
Novel photographic products for use in color diffusion transfer, particularly color diffusion transfer systems for forming color images viewable without separation as reflection prints, which products include a neutralizing layer for lowering the environmental pH after application of an aqueous alkaline processing fluid and a ''''timing'''' spacer layer so disposed with respect to the neutralizing layer that the processing fluid must first diffuse through the spacer layer before contacting the neutralizing layer, the spacer layer comprising, as a continuous phase, the coalesced essence of an aqueous film-forming synthetic polymer dispersion which is substantially impermeable to the processing fluid and a discontinuous phase comprising a material which is permeable to the processing fluid.
Abstract:
DIFFUSION TRANSFER PHOTOGRAPHIC PRODUCTS COMPRISING A SUPPORT CARRYING AT LEAST TWO SELECTIVELY SENSITIZED SILVER HALIDE EMULSION LAYERS EACH HAVING A DYE WHICH IS PREFERABLY A SILVER HALIDE DEVELOPING AGENT OF PREDETERMINED COLOR ASSOCIATED THEREWITH, AT LEAST ONE OF SAID DYES BEING PRESENT AS A DISPERSION IN A LAYER IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT ITS ASSOCIATED SILVER HALIDE EMULSION LAYER SAID DISPERSION MATRIX COMPRISING A POLYMER WHICH IS PERMEABLE TO HYDROXYL ION AND SOLUBLIZED DYE AT A RATE WHICH INSURES SUBSTANTIAL DEVELOPMENT OF EACH DYES ASSOCIATED SILVER HALIDE EMULSION LAYER PRIOR TO CONTACT OF SUCH LAYER WITH
SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNTS OF SOLUBILIZED UNASSOCIATED DYE MATERIAL.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to photography, particularly, to photographic products specifically adapted for employment in specified photographic diffusion transfer color processes and, more particularly, to photographic products which comprise a fixed or permanent composite photosensitive structure including, as essential layers, in sequence, a first dimensionally stable layer transparent to actinic radiation; a first polymeric layer dyeable by a diffusion transfer process dye image-forming material; a processing composition permeable opaque layer; a photosensitive silver halide layer having associated therewith a diffusion transfer process dye image-forming material; a second polymeric layer dyeable by a diffusion transfer process dye image-forming material; a second dimensionally stable layer transparent to actinic radiation; means for providing opacifying agent intermediate the second dyeable polymeric layer and the next adjacent photosensitive silver halide layer; and means for providing a diffusion transfer process processing composition preferably intermediate the second dyeable polymeric layer and the next adjacent photo-sensitive silver halide layer; and to specified photographic diffusion transfer color processes employing such products.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to photography and particularly to diffusion transfer color processes wherein the color separation and highlights are significantly enhanced by carrying out said process in the presence of an onium salt of a polymeric anion.
