Abstract

Ein farbfotografisches, negativ entwickelndes Silberhalogenidmaterial mit einem Träger und wenigstens einer blauempfindlichen, wenigstens einen Gelbkuppler enthaltenden Silberhalogenidemulsionsschicht, wenigstens einer grünempfindlichen, wenigstens einen Purpurkuppler enthaltenden Silberhalogenidemulsionsschicht und wenigstens einer rotempfindlichen, wenigstens einen Blaugrünkuppler enthaltenden Silberhalogenidemulsionsschicht, deren Silberhalogenide zu wenigstens 95 mol-% aus AgCl bestehen und bei dem mindestens eine Silberhalogenidemulsionsschicht bei Analogbelichtung Solarisation aufweist, zeichnet sich bei scannender Belichtung durch hohe Farbdichte und bei Analogbelichtung durch einen von der Belichtungszeit unabhängigen Kontrast aus.
