    摘要: There is disclosed a silver halide photographic emulsion comprising silver halide grains, wherein 50% or more of the projected area of the silver halide grains to be contained is occupied by tabular grains having an aspect ratio of 2 or more and a grain thickness of 0.2 &mgr;m or less, with the tabular grains each having a phase with the content of silver bromide being 10% or more, and wherein in the phase, the tabular grains each contain a metal complex dopant in an amount necessary to increase the density of a dislocation. This emulsion produces high contrast and better granularity while it has high sensitivity. Further, there is also disclosed a silver halide photographic emulsion, wherein the average equivalent-circle diameter of the total tabular grains among the silver halide grains contained is 2.0 to 4.0 &mgr;m, and the tabular grains contain at least one metal complex having, as a ligand, a heterocyclic compound in a number more than half of the coordination number of the metal atom. This emulsion has high sensitivity and excellent photographic characteristics exhibiting little change of gradation upon exposure to high-intensity illumination. In addition, the present invention provides a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material using the emulsion, and a color image forming process that is simple and rapid and places little load on the environment, using the material.

    摘要: A method of processing an imagewise exposed color photographic film, said film having at least three light-sensitive units which have their individual sensitivities in different wavelength regions, each of the units comprising at least one light sensitive silver halide emulsion and image dye coupler, which method comprises contacting the imagewise exposed color photographic film with an aqueous solution containing a non-blocked developing agent, at a temperature of between 30 to 60° C.; and wherein said film further comprises an incorporated reducing agent, at least one organic silver salt and an amido compound wherein the reducing agent is substantially unreactive in the aqueous color development step described above, but wherein color development of the same imagewise exposed film is capable of being alternatively obtained, without any externally applied developing agent, by heating said film to a temperature above about 80° C. essentially in the absence of aqueous solutions, such that the incorporated reducing agent reacts to form dye by reacting with the image dye couplers; with the proviso that the amido compound effectively reduces contrast when the film is heated above 80° C. but does not substantially reduce contrast when the film is processed by contacting the imagewise exposed color photographic film with a non-blocked developing agent under aqueous conditions, at a temperature of between 30 to 60° C.

    摘要: A heat developable color photographic material is disclosed. The color photographic material is comprised of a support having thereon a light-sensitive mixed crystal silver haloiodide having a silver iodide content of 4 to 40 mole %, a binder and a dye-providing substance capable of providing a mobile dye, when the silver haloiodide is reduced to silver by heating, in chemical relation to the reaction. The color photographic material is capable of producing an image by quick development in a substantially water free state. Even when the color photographic material is used in combination with an organic silver salt it is capable of providing excellent color sensitivity.
