Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
99 words
A photographic method which comprises treating an exposed silver halide emulsion with an aqueous alkaline processing composition containing a silver halide developing agent which is represented by the formula ##STR21## wherein W is alkylene having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, R and R 1 are the same or different and are selected from the group consisting of H, alkyl, alkoxyalkyl, alkylamino and aryl; A is alkylene having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms; X is --OH or a substituent capable of being converted to --OH; R 2 is H, alkyl or aryl; and n is 1 or 2.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
99 words
A photographic method which comprises treating an exposed silver halide emulsion with an aqueous alkaline processing composition containing a silver halide developing agent which is represented by the formula ##STR21## wherein W is alkylene having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, R and R 1 are the same or different and are selected from the group consisting of H, alkyl, alkoxyalkyl, alkylamino and aryl; A is alkylene having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms; X is --OH or a substituent capable of being converted to --OH; R 2 is H, alkyl or aryl; and n is 1 or 2.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
12 words
A photographic method as defined in claim 1 wherein W is propylene.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
27 words
