Color filter and process for producing the color filter

Claim 1

A process for producing a color filter, which comprises the steps of (a) pattern-exposing a light-sensitive material comprising a light-transmitting substrate having thereon at least three silver halide emulsion layers, and (b) subjecting the exposed light-sensitive material to color development processing, bleaching and fixing processing, and washing processing, wherein the at least three silver halide emulsion layers (i) comprise a layer containing at least a cyan coupler, a layer containing at least a magenta coupler and a layer containing at least a yellow coupler and (ii) have different color sensitivity; and the cyan coupler is a compound represented by the following formula (I): ##STR7## wherein R 1 represents a halogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, an acylamino group or a carbamoyl group, and any two of plural R 1 groups may be combined with each other to form a 5- or 6-membered ring; n represents an integer of from 0 to 4; R 2 and R 3 are the same or different and each represents an alkyl group or an aryl group, and R 2 and R 3 may be combined with each other to form a 5- or 6-membered ring; R 4 and R 5 are the same or different and each represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group; X represents a hydrogen atom or a group which is eliminatable by an oxidation-coupling reaction with a developing agent; and Ballast represents a nondiffusive dye having 12 or more total carbon atoms, with the proviso that, when n is 2 or more, the plurality of R 1 groups are be the same or different.
