It is preferable to dispose a donor layer (CL) having a multilayer effect, which has a spectral sensitivity distribution different from that of the main photosensitive layer such as BL, GL, and RL described in No. 0, adjacent to or in proximity to the main photosensitive layer. As described above, various layer configurations and arrangements can be selected according to the purpose of each light-sensitive material.

In the present invention, the light-sensitive material having any of the above-mentioned layer constitutions and arrangements may be used, but the total coated silver amount is in the range of 1.0 g or more and 4.0 g or less per 1 m ² .

Further, in the present invention, in the above-mentioned light-sensitive material, the dry film thickness of the entire hydrophilic colloid layer on the exposure side of the support is 10 μm or more and 22 μm or less. The all-hydrophilic colloid layer on the exposed side of the support means the entire remaining layer except the undercoat layer of the support from the outermost surface of the light-sensitive material on the exposed side. In the present invention, the dry film thickness of the above-mentioned all-hydrophilic colloid layer on the exposed side of the support is preferably 10 μm or more and 20 μm or less. It is more preferably 12 μm or more and 18 μm or less, and particularly preferably 12 μm or more and 16 μm or less.

B STAND.) Displays the value measured. That is, the dry film thickness of all hydrophilic colloid layers excluding the undercoat layer of the support on the side having the emulsion layer is the thickness of the dried sample and the coating on the support on the side having the hydrophilic colloid layer on the exposed side. It can be determined from the difference from the thickness after removing the coating layer, and specifically, it can be determined from the measurement of the sample coated with the coating layers used in determining the coating silver amount at successive intervals. it can. Further, for example, it can be obtained by enlarging and photographing the cross section using a scanning electron microscope and comparing these with the film thickness obtained by the above contact type film thickness meter. Incidentally, in the measurement of the scanning electron microscope, the sample usually has to be placed under vacuum and the humidity-dried sample cannot be kept as it is, so that the water content in the sample is relatively small. There may be a loss of substances with a low boiling point, and the film thickness may not be measured correctly. In addition, the sample preparation method of the freeze-drying method has been tried, but this is not enough, so caution is required. Therefore, the measurement by the cross-section imaging of the scanning electron microscope is used as one measuring means for calculating the thickness of each layer of the dried sample based on the value of the film thickness by the contact film thickness meter.

On the other hand, samples 201 to 204 using compounds other than the compounds represented by formula (1) and formula (2) of the present invention
Also, in Sample 101, the above-mentioned various performances fluctuate greatly as the total coated silver amount increases and decreases, and it is clear that deterioration in the image quality of storage stability and sharpness due to the reduction of the total coated silver amount is not preferable. It should be noted that the color reproducibility was −0.10 with respect to the sample 101, that is, the samples 206 to 208 and the sample 105 were confirmed to be excellent, as in the case of the result of Example 1.
In addition, the other samples 102 to 104 and 1 produced in Example 1
For No. 06, the total coated silver amount was similarly increased or decreased and the performance was examined in the same manner as above, but the same tendency result as that obtained for the sample 105 could be obtained.
