Abstract

Abstract The invention is directed to a method for preventing color mixing in multilayer-type color photographic light-sensitive materials developed by the coupler-in-developer process. The multilayer light-sensitive materials used herein comprise a film base coated with a red-sensitive emulsion layer, a greensensitive emulsion layer, and a blue-sensitive emulsion layer respectively. Cyan and magenta dye formation is prevented in the blue emulsion layer by addition thereto of a ballasted yellow coupler having the general formula WHEREIN R1 represents a tertiary alkyl group, an unsubstituted cycloalkyl group, a substituted cycloalkyl group, an unsubstituted dicycloalkyl group, a substituted dicycloalkyl group, an unsubstituted aryl group or a substituted aryl group; R2 represents an unsubstituted aryl group, a substituted aryl group, an unsubstituted heterocyclic group, or a substituted heterocyclic group; and X represents a hydrogen atom or a group capable of being split off during the coupling reaction.
