Abstract
Abstract A color photographic material is provided in which the interimage effect is adjusted to provide optimum color reproduction. The photographic material comprises an emulsion referred to as type I emulsion, which releases an inhibitor on development and another emulsion with underripened grains which are more soluble than those of the type I emulsion.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim
241 words
Photographic recording material consisting of a layer substrate and at least two silver halide emulsion layers which are sensitive to different regions of the visible spectrum, at least one of which layers contains a silver halide emulsion, hereinafter referred to as type I silver halide emulsion, which releases a development inhibitor on development of the photographic material, and at least one of which layers contains a silver halide emulsion, hereinafter referred to as type II silver halide emulsion, which is capable of being inhibited by the aforesaid inhibitor, wherein the emulsion grains of the type II silver halide emulsion are more easily soluble than the emulsion grains of the type I emulsion and the type II emulsion is not ripened to full sensitivity whereby after its application to a layer substrate and 6 minutes' development at 30° C. in an aqueous developer containing, per liter, 2 g of ethylene diaminotetracetic acid, 0.3 g of 1-phenyl-3-pyrazolidone, 50 g of sodium sulphite, 6 g of hydroquinone, 35 g of sodium carbonate, 215 g of potassium thiocyanate, 2 g of potassium bromide and 0.015 g of potassium iodide, it has a degree of fogging of at the most 25%, the degree of fogging being defined by the quantity of silver, calculated as silver nitrate, and multiplied by 100, situated on the layer substrate after development and fixing divided by the quantity of silver, calculated as silver nitrate, situated on the layer substrate before development.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
