Abstract
Abstract Adjacency effects of color photographic material may be increased by dividing a light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer into three emulsion layers sensitive to the same spectral region of the visible light, the uppermost silver halide emulsion layer of which has the highest sensitivity and the lowermost silver halide emulsion layer has the lowest sensitivity, wherein the maximum color density of the uppermost silver halide emulsion layer, after color development, is lower than 0.60 and the maximum color density of both the intermediate and lowermost silver halide emulsion layers, after color development, are each higher than 0.60.

Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
116 words
1) Multilayer color photographic light-sensitive material having on a support base blue-, green- and red-sensitized silver halide emulsion layers associated with non-diffusing color couplers, wherein at least one of the silver halide emulsion layers comprises three silver halide emulsion layers sensitized to the same spectral region of visible light, the uppermost silver halide emulsion layer of which has the highest sensitivity and the lowermost silver halide emulsion layer has the lowest sensitivity, characterized in that the maximum color density of the uppermost silver halide emulsion layer, after development, is lower than 0.60 and the maximum color densities of both the intermediate and the uppermost silver halide emulsion layers, after color development, are each higher than 0.60.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

1) Multilayer color photographic light-sensitive material having on a support base blue-, green- and red-sensitized silver halide emulsion layers associated with non-diffusing color couplers, wherein at least one of the silver halide emulsion layers comprises three silver halide emulsion layers sensitized to the same spectral region of visible light, the uppermost silver halide emulsion layer of which has the highest sensitivity and the lowermost silver halide emulsion layer has the lowest sensitivity, characterized in that the maximum color density of the uppermost silver halide emulsion layer, after development, is lower than 0.60 and the maximum color densities of both the intermediate and the uppermost silver halide emulsion layers, after color development, are each higher than 0.60.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
34 words
2) Multilayer color photographic material according to claim 1, wherein the sum of the maximum color densities of the uppermost silver halide emulsion layer and intermediate silver halide emulsion layer is higher than 1.0.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
46 words
3) Multilayer color photographic material according to claim 1, wherein the sum of the maximum color densities of the uppermost silver halide emulsion layer and intermediate silver halide emulsion layer is equal or higher than the maximum color density of the lowermost silver halide emulsion layer.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
62 words
4) Multilayer color photographic material according to claim 1, wherein the red-sensitized silver halide emulsion layer in the indicated order comprises a fine-grain low-sensitivity silver halide emulsion layer, a mean-grain medium-sensitivity silver halide emulsion layer and a coarse-grain high-sensitivity silver halide emulsion layer, said fine-grain low-sensitivity silver halide emulsion layer being the closest one to the supporting base in said red-sensitized layer.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
90 words
5) Multilayer color photographic material according to claim 1 which consists of a supporting base having coated thereon in the indicated order: an antihalation layer, three layers of silver halide emulsion sensitized to the red light but of different sensitivity and containing cyan-dye forming couplers, two layers of silver halide emulsion sensitized to the green light but of different sensitivity and containing magenta-dye forming couplers, a yellow dye filter layer, two layers of silver halide emulsion sensitized to the blue light but of different sensitivity and containing yellow-dye forming couplers.
