摘要:
A new class of photographic masked stabilizers is disclosed showing following general chemical formula (Ia) or (Ib): ##STR1## wherein X and Y each independently represent N or CR, R being hydrogen or lower alkyl,Z represents a lower alkyl group, a nitro group, a halogen atom or hydrogen, andM represents a positive counterion, preferably an alkali cation, ammonium or substituted ammonium.The compounds are demasked by hydrolysis under alkaline conditions. They can be incorporated in a developing solution or in a photographic material, preferably in the backing layer. They show an enhanced solvability in water compared to the corresponding unmasked stabilizers.A preferred compound is 1-(2-sulphonatobenzoyl)-5-nitroindazole trimethylamine, sodium or potassium salt.

摘要:
A developer liquid suited for use in development of photographic silver halide emulsion layer materials which liquid contains:1) hydroquinone or a substituted hydroquinone as sole developing agent or said hydroquinone as main developing agent in combination with an auxiliary developing agent in an amount less than 10 mole % with respect to the main developing agent,2) an inorganic compound yielding free sulphite ions in an amount of at least 5 grams per liter,3) an organic anti-fogging agent corresponding to the following general formula (Z): ##STR1## wherein: X.sup.2 represents an alkyl group or an aryl group including said groups in substituted form or an amino group including said group in substituted form;the amount of anti-fogging agent being in the range of 50 mg to 1 g per liter,4) a polymer containing a plurality of alkylene oxide units, and5) the necessary alkaline material to have in said liquid a pH of at least 10.5. Optional additives can also be present in the developing liquid.
摘要:
A high contrast silver metal image can be formed in an exposed photographic silver halide emulsion layer material, the silver halide of which is at least 90 mole percent silver bromide, with the balance being silver chloride and/or silver iodide by developing the same in a developing medium in the presence of hydroquinone as sole developing agent, a large amount of sulphite derived from an inorganic sulphite compound, a nitro-indazole anti-fogging agent, and a polyoxyethylene polymer, and an inorganic alkaline compound to impart to the medium a pH of at least 10.5 provided the amounts of these ingredients meets certain requirements.
摘要:
A method for the production of a silver image with improved contrast by the development of an image-wise exposed photographic silver halide emulsion layer material with a developer liquid containing a hydroquinone in the presence of an auxiliary developing agent, wherein said developer liquid is applied to said photographic material containing silver halide grains that have been chemically sensitized with organic thiosulphonic acid anions in combination with a gold sensitizer in the absence of thiosulphate ions.
