Abstract

Abstract A color photographic element comprising a support and first and second silver halide emulsion layers sensitized to first and second regions of the electromagnetic spectrum respectively and each containing a dye forming coupler, wherein the second emulsion layer is to a limited extent also sensitized to the first region of the spectrum. The element exhibits extended exposure latitude.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim 52 words
A color photographic element comprising a support and first and second silver halide emulsion layers sensitized to first and second regions of the electromagnetic spectrum respectively and each containing a dye forming coupler, wherein the second emulsion layer is to a limited extent also sensitized to the first region of the spectrum.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 52 words
A color photographic element comprising a support and first and second silver halide emulsion layers sensitized to first and second regions of the electromagnetic spectrum respectively and each containing a dye forming coupler, wherein the second emulsion layer is to a limited extent also sensitized to the first region of the spectrum.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 52 words
The photographic element of claim l wherein the second emulsion layer contains sensitizing dye for the first region of the spectrum in an amount that is up to 30% by weight of the amount of sensitizing dye for the first region of the spectrum that is contained in the first emulsion layer.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 56 words
The photographic element of claim l or 2, wherein the first emulsion layer contains a cyan dye forming coupler and a sensitizing dye for the red region of the spectrum and the second emulsion layer contains a magenta dye forming coupler and a sensitizing dye for each of the green and red regions of the spectrum.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 56 words
The photographic element of claim l or 2, wherein the first emulsion layer contains a magenta dye forming coupler and a sensitizing dye for the green region of the spectrum and the second emulsion layer contains a cyan dye forming coupler and sensitizing dyes for each of the red and the green regions of the spectrum.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 40 words
The photographic element of claim 4 wherein the red sensitized emulsion contains green sensitizing dye in an amount of 5 to 30 percent by weight of the amount of green sensitizing dye that is contained in the green sensitized emulsion.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 74 words
The photographic element of claims 1, 2 or 4, capable of forming a positive multicolor dye image comprised of a support, a blue-sensitive, yellow-dye-image-­forming silver halide emulsion, a green-sensitized, magenta-dye-image-­forming silver halide emulsion layer, and a red-sensitized, cyan-dye-image-forming silver halide emulsion, wherein the red sensitized emulsion layer contains a green sensitizing dye in an amount up to 30% by weight of the amount of green sensitizing dye contained in the green sensitized emulsion layer.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 21 words
The photographic element of claim 6 wherein the magenta dye forming coupler is 1-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)-3-(2-chloro-5-(α-{4-­hydroxy-3-tert-butyl-phenoxy}tetradecanamido)-­anilino]-5-pyrazolone and the cyan dye-forming coupler is 2-[α-(2,4-di-tert-­amylphenoxy)butyramido]-4,6-dichloro-5-ethylphenol.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 21 words
The photographic element of claim 6 wherein the magenta dye forming coupler is 1-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)-3-(2-chloro-5-­tetradecanamido)anilino-4-(-2-pivalamido)phenylthio-­2-pyrazolin-5-one and the cyan dye-forming coupler is 2-[α-(2,4-di-tert-amylphenoxy)butyramido]-­4,6-dichloro-5-ethylphenol.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 26 words
The photographic element of claim 7 or 8 wherein the green sensitizing dye is anhydro-5-chloro-9-ethyl-5′-phenyl-3′-(3-sulfobutyl)-­3-(3-sulfopropyl)oxacarbocyanine hydroxide, sodium salt and the red sensitizing dye is anhydro-3-ethyl-9,11-neopentylene-­3′-(3-sulfopropyl)-thiadicarbocyanine hydroxide.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 39 words
The photographic element of claim 9 wherein the green sensitizing dye is present in the red sensitized emulsion layer in an amount that is 5 to 15% by weight of the amount present in the green sensitized emulsion layer.
