Abstract

Abstract A photographic light-sensitive material comparing a support having thereon at least one silver halide emulateSiO layer, wherein the silver halide emulsion layer comprises a silver chlorobromide emulsion which is substantially free of iodide and has a chloride content which satisfies the following relationship (I) between a mean mole% of silver chloride in grain group (A), in which the grains have sizes not less than the median size in the grain size distribution, and a mean mole% of silver chloride in grain group (B) in which the grains have sizes less than the median size, whereby excellent gradation and wide exposure latitude are achieved, and there is a small dependence on the development conditions. Relationship (I): I≦[Mean mol% of silver chloride in grain group (A)] -[Mean mol% of silver chloride in grain group (B)]<99
