Direct-positive silver halide photographic material

Claim 1

A direct-positive silver halide photographic material, whose speed is stable and whose minimum density is small under a high temperature and a high humidity, said material comprising a support, a silver halide emulsion layer comprising fogged silver halide particles prepared in the presence of a water soluble iridium salt or a water soluble rhodium salt, and a hydrophilic colloidal layer comprising a compound selected from the group consisting of compounds having the following Formula I and II and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of a compound having the following Formula III and a gold compound, Formula I ##STR6## wherein R 1 is hydrogen, an alkyl, --SO 3 M or --COOM radical wherein M is hydrogen, an alkaline metal or ammonium ion, and R 2 is hydrogen or a lower alkyl radical, Formula II ##STR7## wherein R 3 is hydrogen, an alkyl, --SO 3 M or --COOM radical wherein M is hydrogen, an alkaline metal or ammonium ion, and R 4 is hydrogen, an alkyl or --CH 2 --S--(CH 2 ) n --Y' radical wherein n is an integer of from 1 to 3, and Y' is hydrogen or --SO 3 M radical, Formula III H.sub.2 N--Y--NH--Y.sub.m NH.sub.2 is an integer of from 1 to 5, and Y is an alkylene radical having from 2 to 4 carbon atoms, provided not less than 2 Ys present inside the same molecule are allowed to be different alkylene radicals, wherein the adding quantity of the compound having Formula III is from 1.0×10 -7 to 1.0×10 -2 mole per mole of silver halide and the adding quantity of the gold compound in from 1.0×10 -7 to 1.0×10 -4 mole per mole of silver halide.
