Abstract

Abstract Photographic compositions comprising (1) a silver halide developing agent, (2) a water-soluble silver halide solvent and (3) a weak silver halide complexing agent. In one embodiment the above composition can be used to rapidly develop or stabilize image records in silver halide emulsions which contain addenda which lower the rate of dissolution of silver halide in a potassium thiocyanate solution.
