Silver halide color photographic sensitive material

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To improve the graininess, sharpness or image stability by incorporating a specified compound. CONSTITUTION:This silver halide color photographic sensitive material contains a compound represented by a formula A-TIME-PUG-Ballast (where A is a coupler residue having no diffusion resistant group and cleaves a group TIME- PUG-Ballast by a reaction with the oxidized product of a developing agent, TIME is a group which cleaves a group PUG-Ballast after cleavage from A, PUG is a group which acts as a photographically useful group only after cleavage from TIME, and Ballast is an org. atomic group for providing diffusion resistance to PUG). The sensitive material has two or more photosensitive layers having the same color sensitivity and different photographic sensitivities. It is preferable that at least one of the photosensitive layers except the layer having the maximum photographic sensitivity contains the compound. The thickness of the photosensitive layers can be reduced to improve the sharpness. The PUG may be a development retarder or accelerator, has high reactivity with the oxidized product of a developing agent, and functions effectively. When the PUG is the development retarder, the graininess is improved.
