Abstract
Abstract Photographic receiver elements are disclosed which comprise a support having thereon at least one layer containing an unhardened hydrophilic colloid and said elements contain cobalt(III) ion complexes. The receiver elements can be used in combination with a photographic element containing an imagewise distribution of a metal, such as developed silver, to effect imagewise tanning in the receiver element.
