Abstract
Abstract A novel silver halide photographic material is disclosed, which comprises at least one methine dye represented by the following formula (I): ##STR1## wherein R 1 represents an alkyl, aryl or heterocyclic group; R 2 and R 3 each represents an alkyl group; R 4 and R 5 each independently represents an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, an aryloxy group, a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, or a hydroxyl group, provided that at least one of R 4 and R 5 represents an alkyl, alkoxy, or aryloxy group; V 1 and V 2 each independently represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, or an atomic group; L 1 , L 2 , and L 3 each represents a methine group; M represents a charge neutralizing ion; and m represents 0 or a higher number required for the neutralization of electric charge in the dye.
