Abstract

Abstract A silver salt diffusion transfer photographic material is described, having a silver halide emulsion layer comprising silver halide grains wherein at least 80 percent of the total number of said silver halide grains are accounted for by coarse silver halide grains larger than about 0.8 mu m in diameter and fine silver halide grains of from about 0.1 mu m to about 0.4 mu m in diameter, and said fine silver halide grains constitute from 0.1 to 5 percent of the total weight of silver halide grains and from 10 to 90 percent of the total number of silver halide grains.
