摘要:
The invention provides a color photographic element comprising at least one light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer or a non silver-containing light-insensitive layer, in which at least one of these layers contains a colorless imidazole compound of formula (I) that undergoes less than 10% chemical or redox reaction with oxidized developer and which enables the photographic speed of the element to be increased by at least 0.05 stop without increasing granularity, compared to the same element without the compound, wherein the compound of formula (I) has the structure: wherein X is H or a substituent; Z represents the atoms necessary to complete an unsubstituted or substituted imidazole ring, which may form part of a fused unsubstituted or substituted ring system containing no further ring heteroatoms; wherein there is present at least one —NH group either in the imidazole ring or directly attached to the imidazole ring as part of X; provided that (a) when Z represents the atoms necessary to complete an unsubstituted or substituted benzimidazole ring, an —NH group is directly attached to the imidazole ring as part of X, and X is located between the imidazole nitrogen atoms; (b) when the —NH group is located in the ring adjacent to the carbon atom bearing X, and X is located between the imidazole nitrogen atoms, the imidazole ring is not fused to a phenanthrene ring. The compounds of formula (I) increase speed without a concomitant increase in size of the light-sensitive silver halide grains.

Black-and-white elements, such as radiographic films, can be processed in roomlight using a developing/fixing monobath composition that also includes a water-soluble colorant, such as a water-soluble "yellow" dye, that provides safelight conditions in the processing composition. The processing method is carried out quickly, that is within 120 seconds. The colorant has a maximum absorption wavelength of from about 350 to about 500 nm, and is transparent in solution.

The processing method is carried out quickly, that is within 120 seconds.
摘要:
Black-and-white elements, such as radiographic films, can be processed in roomlight because they include certain light absorbing dyes and desensitizers. Processing is carried out by processing the exposed element using a two-stage process in the same light-tight processing container. In the first stage, development is initiated with a developing composition having a pH of from about 10 to about 12.5, and comprising an appropriate black-and-white developing agent in a concentration of from about 0.1 to about 0.5 mol/l, and a sulfite at from about 0.25 to about 0.7 mol/l. After an appropriate time, a fixing agent (other than a sulfite) is introduced into the processing container to provide a combined developing/fixing compositions, and development and fixing are carried out simultaneously. The processing method is carried out quickly, usually within about 90 seconds, including a washing step at the end. The presence of sulfite and high pH in both stages decolorize or deactivate the particulate dyes.
摘要:
Room-light handleable direct silver halide emulsions exhibit a broadened Dmin window when certain nitro-substituted aryl- or heteroaryl-containing imidazoles are included. These imidazoles act as excellent rereversal and Dmin suppressants. Photographic elements are prepared from these emulsions that can be handled in room-light if desired.

Color photographic materials and methods employ a substrate bearing a silver chloride emulsion. The silver chloride emulsion includes a diamino disulfide and a sulfinate. The diamino disulfide and the sulfinate are included in a weight ratio of from about 1:1 to about 1:20, and provide improved storage stability and reduced high temperature sensitivity during exposure.

A silver halide color negative photographic light-sensitive material is disclosed which is improved on stability to fluctuation of processing conditions applied thereon, and has a sufficient wide exposure latitude. The photographic material is also improved on standing stability of silver halide emulsion in the course of manufacturing thereof. The photographic material comprises a support having thereon photographic component layers including at least one silver halide emulsion layer containing at least two groups of silver halide grains each being substantially different in desensitizing agent content from each other.

A direct positive photographic light-sensitive material comprising a support having thereon at least one internal latent image type silver halide emulsion layer not having been previously fogged, wherein the photographic light-sensitive material contains at least one nucleating agent represented by a specific formula and at least one nucleating accelerating agent selected from compounds represented by two specific formulae. The direct positive photographic light-sensitive material according to the present invention provides direct positive images having a high maximum image density and a low minimum image density, and is less susceptible to change in photographic properties such as reduction in the maximum image density and increase in the minimum image density when it is preserved under high temperature and/or high humidity conditions.
