Abstract

Abstract A silver halide photographic light-sensitive material is disclosed. The material has improved sensitivity and granularity as well as an increased gradient. Further, the material can be processed by rapid processing methods. The material is comprised of a support having positioned thereon a light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer and a compound represented by the general formula (I): A-B (I) wherein A is residue of a compound capable of undergoing a coupling reaction with an oxidized primary amine developer, the residue being derived by eliminating a hydrogen atom from an active position of the compound. B is a group capable of being released through a coupling reaction to exert a fogging effect.
