Abstract
Abstract A color photographic light-sensitive material comprising a support having thereon at least one layer each of a red-sensitive emulsion, a green-sensitive emulsion and a blue-sensitive emulsion, wherein at least 50% of the total projected area of silver halide grains contained in at least one of the emulsion layers is tabular grains of silver bromide, silver iodobromide, silver chlorobromide or silver iodochlorobromide which has a thickness of less than 0.12 micron, a diameter of less than 0.6 micron and a mean aspect ratio of at least 5. The color photographic light-sensitive material has an improved sharpness.
