Abstract
Abstract A photographic element comprising an acrylic interpolymer can be rapidly processed at high temperatures to provide an image record exhibiting reduced haze and improved photographic properties. The acrylic interpolymer contained in the photographic element is compatible with gelatin and has a Tg of less than 20* C. In another aspect of this invention, a photographic element comprising an acrylic interpolymer and a development modifier exhibit improved photographic properties.
