Abstract:
A novel silver halide color photographic material is described, comprising a support having thereon at least three silver halide emulsion layer units each having a sensitivity to each of three primary colors of blue, green and red, wherein at least one unit among said silver halide emulsion layer units comprises a layer group containing at least two layers each having a different sensitivity and at least one layer in said layer group, which satisfies the following condition (A) or (B):(A) in the case where the silver halide emulsion layer unit is a blue-sensitive or green-sensitive unit, the layer is one to take charge of coloration of a substantially highest density range on a characteristic curve; or(B) in the case where the silver halide emulsion layer unit is a red-sensitive unit, the layer is one other than a layer which is in charge of coloration of a substantially highest density range on a characteristic curve,contains at least one compound of the general formula (I): ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is a linear, branched or cyclic alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms or a linear, branched or cyclic alkoxy group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, which may optionally be substituted; R.sub.2 represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom or a substituent as defined in said R.sub.1 ; n is an integer of 1 to 4, and when n is 2 or more, said R.sub.2 's may be the same or different substituents; with the proviso that the total carbon number in said R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 is 50 or less; dispersed in said layer together with a coupler.The present silver halide color photographic material can form a color image with a high saturation of an improved color reproducibility in a broad range from a low density to a high density.
Abstract:
A process of preparing a silver halide emulsion comprising mixing a water-soluble silver salt solution with a water-soluble halide solution in the presence of a protective colloid. Silver halide grains are formed which are octahedral or tetra decahedral silver iodobromide containing at least 4 mol % silver iodide. A tetrazaindene compound is added to the mixture before the completion of the addition of the silver salt solution.
Abstract:
Silver halide photographic materials with higher sensitivity and less fogging having at least one silver halide emulsion layer over a photographic base or support wherein the emulsion of said emulsion layer substantially contains core/shell-type silver halide grains or core/shell-type monodisperse silver halide grains, core portion of said grain containing silver iodide in a greater amount than that contained in shell portion of said grain and said emulsion is subjected to chemical ripening in the presence of a labile selenium compound, optionally with coexistence of a silver halide solvent, and said emulsion may contain further a specific phenol compound.
Abstract:
The sensitivity of a gelatino-silver halide emulsion is improved by adding glutaraldehyde bisulfite in combination with benzene sulfinic acid during the preparation of the silver halide, viz. when a silver salt is mixed with a halide to precipitate a silver halide.
Abstract:
This invention relates to photographic materials containing an ion pair compound which has a quaternary nitrogen atom as a cation and a boron compound as an anion.
Abstract:
A chemically sulfur-sensitized silver halide photographic emulsion which contains: (1) at least 80 mol% silver bromide or silver chloride; wherein substantially are of the silver halide particles present are of the cubic crystal form; and (2) a sensitizing amount of an organic compound having at least one mercapto group and capable of reacting with a silver ion to form a water-insoluble silver salt. A method of sensitizing such an emulsion and a process of forming such an emulsion are also disclosed.
Abstract:
Direct-positive photographic emulsions comprising silver halide grains which have a substantially regular crystal shape in contrast to substantially irregular crystal shape, are disclosed. Such emulsions can contain electron acceptors and the grains can be fogged with both reduction and gold fogging agents. Photographic elements employing such emulsions and processes for preparing them are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A method is disclosed of making an internally sensitive photographic silver halide emulsion. In this method further silver halide is laid down on the grains of a surface sensitive or surface fogged emulsion so that excesses of silver and halide ions are alternately produced. In one preferred form a desensitizer is added to the completed internally sensitive emulsion, which desensitizer has a cathodic polarographic halfwave potential less negative that -1.0 volt. In another preferred form a sensitizing dye can be added to the internally sensitive emulsion. The invention is also directed to the silver halide emulsions formed by these methods.
Abstract:
AN APPARATUS AND PROCESS ARE DISCLOSED IN WHICH AN EMULSION AND AN ADDENDA SENSITIZER SOLUTION ARE DIRECTED AS SEPARATE FLOWS TO A COMMON JUNCTION WHERE THE FLOWS ARE INTERMIXED INTO A COMMON FLOW UPON COMING INTO CONTACT. THE COMMON FLOW OF EMULSION AND ADDENDA SENSITIZER SOLUTION IS THEN MOVED THROUGH AN EXTENDED PATH WHICH INCLUDES MEANS FOR HEATING THE EMULSION TO A PREDETERMINED TEMPERATURE AND MAINTAINING IT AT SAID TEMPERATUR FOR A PREDTERMINED PERIOD OF TIME AND MEANS FOR COOLING THE COMMON FLOW VERY RAPIDLY, THEREBY FINISHING THE EMULSION AND PROVIDING AN EMULSION OF UNIFORM SENSITIZATION. WHILE THE EMULSION IS BEING MOVED THROUGH THE CONDUIT WHICH FORMS AND DEFINES THE EXTENDED PATH, IT IS BEING MIXED CONTINUOUSLY BY A CONTINUOUS SERIES OF ELEMENTS ARRANGED WITHIN AND THROUGHOUT THE FULL LENGTH OF THE CONDUIT FROM THE COMMON JUNCTION TO AN OUTLET LOCATED BEYOND THE COOLING MEANS.
