Abstract
Abstract A receiving element for use in an additive color photographic diffusion transfer process which comprises a transparent support carrying an additive color screen and a layer comprising noble metal silver precipitating nuclei and a polymer; wherein said nuclei are present in a level of about 0.1-0.3 mgs/ft 2 , and said polymer is present at a level of from about 0.5 to 5 times the coverage of said nuclei. Preferably, the noble metal is obtained by reduction of a noble metal salt or complex, and more preferably, the noble metal is palladium.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
98 words
An additive diffusion transfer film unit consisting essentially of a transparent support carrying, in order, an additive color screen, a silver precipitating layer comprising noble metal silver precipitating nuclei and a polymer; wherein said nuclei are present in a level of about 0.1-0.3 mgs/ft 2 ; and said polymer is present at a level of from about 0.5 to 5 times the coverage of said nuclei and said layer being not more than about 2 mgs/ft 2 ; wherein said silver precipitating layer is the sole layer containing silver precipitating nuclei; and a photosensitive silver halide emulsion layer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
98 words
An additive diffusion transfer film unit consisting essentially of a transparent support carrying, in order, an additive color screen, a silver precipitating layer comprising noble metal silver precipitating nuclei and a polymer; wherein said nuclei are present in a level of about 0.1-0.3 mgs/ft 2 ; and said polymer is present at a level of from about 0.5 to 5 times the coverage of said nuclei and said layer being not more than about 2 mgs/ft 2 ; wherein said silver precipitating layer is the sole layer containing silver precipitating nuclei; and a photosensitive silver halide emulsion layer.
