Description

Detailed Description of the Invention (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a method for processing silver halide color reversal photographic materials. Specifically, after black and white development, a color reversal development process is performed to obtain a color photographic image. The method relates to a black-and-white development processing method for obtaining photographic images with high sensitivity, high maximum density, and well-balanced color.Also, it relates to a sensitization processing method for obtaining different sensitivities by changing processing conditions, or a method for rapidly developing photographic images. Concerning a rapid processing method for obtaining.

(Prior Art) Silver halide color reversal photosensitive materials have a narrow range of exposure tolerance, and require extremely limited appropriate exposure to obtain good images. This is used as a final positive image for viewing purposes, so compared to color negative photosensitive materials,
This is because the gradation is designed to be hard. Therefore, it is necessary to use a photosensitive material with optimal sensitivity depending on the purpose and exposure conditions.

In addition, highly sensitive color photosensitive materials are required for shooting special scenes such as sports photography that requires a fast shutter speed or stage photography where the amount of light required for exposure is insufficient. There are few color reversal photographic materials of sufficient quality to meet the required purpose.

Under these circumstances, high-sensitivity color reversal photosensitive materials,
There has been a strong desire for sensitivity adjustment through processing to compensate for overexposure and underexposure.

In order to meet these demands, a number of development acceleration methods and increasing (decreasing) sensitivity development methods have been proposed.

The most common and long-standing practice is to extend the black-and-white development time or increase the development temperature.

However, such sensitization (de)sensitization methods do not necessarily provide sufficient sensitization suitability for color reversal light-sensitive materials; ■ In light-sensitive materials that are divided into a high-speed layer and a low-speed layer, the two layers have different suitability for development, so sensitization may cause changes in gradation. When trying to increase the degree of sensitization by extending the time of the first development, it may cause a large decrease in the density of the developed image; Due to differences in suitability for development, color balance sometimes deteriorates when sensitized.

Furthermore, a method of using a development accelerator is known for the purpose of obtaining high sensitivity. These compounds are L, F, A, M

(Focal Press London & N
These compounds include cationic surfactants, cationic dyes, neutral salts, polyalkylene oxides, organic amines, etc., which are listed on pages 7 to gg of the New York website, and adding these compounds to the black and white developer will accelerate development. This technique was unsuitable for practical use because it had insufficient performance, tended to increase fog, and lowered the maximum density of the reversed color image.

A processing method using a black-and-white developer containing a thioether compound (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 1982-TJJ30), which improves this drawback, also improves the blue sensitivity by changing the development time or temperature and changing the sensitivity. There was a drawback that the progress of development of the green-sensitive and red-sensitive layers was uneven, resulting in a loss of color balance.

Furthermore, as a method to improve this drawback, a processing method using a co-bath black and white developer is also known (Unexamined Japanese Patent Application Publication Sho! Day/
/1a4t (<specification). However, although good performance can be obtained with this method, since black and white development consists of several steps, the management of the processing solution and processing conditions is extremely delicate, and it is difficult to maintain a certain photographic performance. was difficult.

On the other hand, in sensitization development, a method of suppressing development fog in black-and-white development is known as a method considered to be effective in improving the above-mentioned drawbacks. For example, halogen compounds such as bromide and iodide are widely known and commonly used in black and white developers. However, when sensitized development is performed, the antifogging power is not sufficient and the purpose cannot be met.

Also, US Patent No. λ, 72! , No. 290, phenyl-j-mercaptotetrazole,
y-phenyl-komelkabutothiazole, komelkabutobenzoxazole, 2-mercaptoben/thiazole, and /-2-naphthyl-yo-mercaptotetrazole can be used as multilayer photosensitive materials when subjected to high-temperature black-and-white development. This has the effect of preventing the upper layer from being excessively developed. However, these compounds have an extremely large effect of inhibiting development, so even if used in small amounts, they inhibit the development of the upper layer.

Therefore, if an increased amount is used in order to suppress the development of the lower layer or fog, the development of the upper layer will be excessively blurred and the color balance will be disrupted.

Additionally, methylbenzotriazole and nitrobenzimidazole are described on pages 3 to 3 of these development inhibitors (or anti-fogging agents).

These compounds have a small effect of preventing fog in the lower layer during black-and-white development, and if they are used in an increased amount, the effect of inhibiting the development of the lower layer is strong, resulting in a decrease in sensitivity.

In this way, when sensitizing or rapidly processing color reversal photographic materials consisting of multiple layers, it is necessary to balance the fog prevention effect of each layer during black and white development, but it is necessary to balance the antifogging effect of each layer during black and white development. It has been a very difficult problem to suppress fog during black-and-white development without decreasing or eliminating the sensitivity of the bottom layer.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Therefore, it is desired to develop a technology that can solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, can freely control the degree of sensitization, and does not exhibit any adverse effects during standard processing. was.

A first object of the present invention is to provide a method for developing a color reversal photosensitive material, which provides photographic images with high sensitivity and high maximum density, particularly in the red-sensitive layer, and also with good color balance. It is to be. A second object of the present invention is to provide a method for developing a color reversal photosensitive material, in which photographic images of different sensitivities can be obtained using the same photosensitive material by changing conditions.

A third object is to provide a rapid processing method for color reversal light-sensitive materials that produces good photographic images in a short period of time.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The object of the present invention is to provide a method for processing a silver halide color reversal photographic material that has been imagewise exposed to light, in which at least one compound selected from the following compound group A is used. Processing using a black and white developer containing a combination of a compound, at least one compound selected from the following compound group B, and at least one compound selected from the following compound group C. I found out what I got.

However, these compounds do not have a thiol group, thioether bond, thioketone group, or disulfide bond.

A patent application has been filed for a method for processing color reversal photographic materials that maintains high sensitivity and high maximum density and produces photographic images with good color balance, using a black and white developer containing two types of development inhibitors. are doing. This improved the color balance in low to medium density areas, but there was a desire for further improvement in the balance in high density areas. That is, the antifogging effect on the blue-sensitive layer, which is the uppermost layer, was excessive, and the maximum density of the yellow image was extremely high, whereas the maximum density of the cyan image was low.

As a result, even though the maximum density was high, a black color shift occurred, and only a so-called "blind" image was obtained.

On the other hand, the present inventors have proposed a method of processing with a black and white developer containing a specific thiadiazole compound as a method for preventing development fog in the lower red-sensitive layer without affecting the development of the upper blue-sensitive layer. A patent application has been filed. By this method, it was possible to increase the maximum density of a cyan image and obtain an image with good color balance, but the overall maximum density was low and an unsatisfactory image was still obtained.

The present inventors have discovered that when a color reversal photographic material is processed using a black-and-white developer containing the above-mentioned compound group A, compound group B, and compound group C of the present invention, the three compounds harmonize well with each other. It was surprising that a color image with maximum density and color balance could be obtained.

The above compounds include known compounds,
For example, US Pat. No. 2,722,290 describes that a mercaptoazole compound and a benzotriazole compound may be used in combination in a color developer.

However, the patent does not suggest what kind of effect can be obtained by using the compound in combination, and even more so, it is not suggested that the compound of the present invention be used in a black and white developer for reversal color processing, which has a completely different composition from a color developer, as in the present invention. There is no disclosure or description of the addition of .

On the other hand, Tokukai Akira! /-/θ2639 Meiji rules book! It is described that a -mercapto/,j,@-thiadiazole compound is added to a color developer or its pre-bath. However, this patent does not disclose or suggest the case where three compounds are added as in the present invention.

Under such circumstances, it has been discovered that the three types of compounds shown in the present invention exhibit completely new effects when used in a manner different from conventional methods.

Processing of the color reversal light-sensitive material, which is a preferred embodiment of the present invention, usually involves the following steps: black and white development (first development) → water washing → reversal → color development → conditioning bath → bleaching → fixing → washing → stabilization → drying. It will be done. This step may further include a prebath, a prehardening bath, a neutralization tower, a stop bath, a water wash, and the like. Reversal may be performed in a fogging bath or may be performed in re-exposure. It is also possible to omit the fogging agent by adding it to the color developing bath.

Furthermore, a regulating tower or stabilizing bath can also be omitted. Furthermore, a bleach-fix solution that performs bleaching and fixing at the same time can also be used.

After the fixing process or bleach-fixing process, processing processes such as water washing and stabilization are generally carried out. A simple treatment method such as performing only a treatment step can also be used.

The characteristic value Dmax in the table indicates the maximum density. In reversal color photographic materials, the maximum density is in the unexposed areas and corresponds to the amount of silver halide that is not developed during black-and-white development. Therefore, if fog is suppressed during black and white development, the maximum density will be a high value. Further, ΔC0B is expressed as follows.

ΔC, B - (C, B in treatment ■) - (C, B in treatment ■
) The color balance C0B in the reversal process is expressed as follows, with the density of the yellow and cyan images as DBDR when an exposure amount that makes the density of the magenta image 7.00 is given.

C, B (yellow) -DB-/, o.

C, B (cyan) - DR - /, θθ For example, when comparing Process ①, if the color balance shifts to yellow, ΔC0B for yellow will be a positive value, and conversely, the color balance shifts to blue. In this case, ΔC and B of yellow have negative values.

From the results in Table 2, when processed with a black and white developer containing additive compound group A and additive compound group B, ,
The values are almost the same with cyan, indicating good color balance, but the maximum density of yellow is 0.30 or more higher than that of cyan and magenta in both cases. (Sample ~//) On the other hand, in the practical sample as well, the black part of the image becomes noticeably yellowish, and as a result, at the current sensitization rate where the maximum density decreases, an image with no solid black is created. Put it away.

In contrast, as in the present invention, additive compound group A.

When processed with a black and white developer containing B and C, (/
I6/~/) and the maximum density were well matched for each of the yellow, magenta, and cyan images, and all had higher values than in Process ①.

Further, ΔC and B also show almost the same values as in the case of process (2).

On the other hand, in the practical sample as well, the black part of the image was well-defined.

The above results show that by processing with the black and white developer shown in the present invention, it is possible to obtain a desirable reversal color image with good color balance, high maximum density, and uniformity.

As shown in Table 2, the compounds of compound groups A, B, and C were added to the black and white developer used in the practical example, and HO-CH2CH2-8-CH was added to each as a development accelerator.
Except that a black and white developer was used in which 0.20y/λ of 2-CH2-8-CH2CH2,OH was added per developer/λ, and the development time was thereby shortened.
Color reversal sensitization treatment was performed in the same manner as in Example. However, only in Experiment 167, the above-mentioned development accelerator was not added.

From the results in Table 2, even when using a black and white developer containing a development accelerator, the maximum density of each yellow, magenta, and cyan image can be achieved by adding the additive compound groups A, B, and C shown in the present invention. It can be seen that an image with a high density, a uniform maximum density, and a well-balanced color can be obtained.

(Effects of the Invention) According to the method of the present invention, many desirable properties that were difficult to achieve using conventional methods can be obtained.

First, when processing is performed under conditions that yield high sensitivity,
Photographic images with high maximum density and good color balance over the entire density range can be obtained. In other words, even when the black-and-white development temperature is increased, the time is increased, or a development accelerator is used to speed up the development in order to obtain high sensitivity, in the conventional method, the bottom layer ( The development fog of the red-sensitive layer (red-sensitive layer) was large, and as a result, the maximum density of the cyan image in the final color image was reduced, and the color balance also took on a strong reddish tinge, greatly reducing the quality of the image. If so, this drawback can be eliminated and the first objective can be achieved.

Second, by changing the processing conditions while using a certain processing solution, it is possible to obtain good photographic images with different sensitivities using the same photosensitive material. That is, by changing the temperature, time, or strength of stirring in conventional black-and-white development, the sensitivity can be changed with the same photosensitive material. According to the method of the present invention, the progress of development of each layer of growth, greenness, and redness can be approximated, so that the color balance is similar even at different sensitivities, resulting in images of satisfactory and desirable quality. can be obtained.

Thirdly, images with high maximum density and good color balance can be obtained even in the case of rapid processing in a short period of time using conventionally known development acceleration methods. That is,
When various black-and-white development acceleration methods are adopted for the purpose of rapid processing, sufficient development acceleration effects are accompanied by a decrease in the maximum density of a color image and a loss of color balance. According to the method of the present invention, images of good quality can be obtained in a short time without these drawbacks.
