Definitions

  • This invention relates to a process of chemically transforming photographic images.
  • the present process now, opens up new possibilities of obtaining chemical compounds by way of the photographic silver image, or of the silver halide residual image, in a very simple manner, the said images hitherto being incapable of being converted at all into these compounds, or
  • the essential feature of the process according to the invention consists in subjecting the image forming substance for instance AgBr, AgCl to the action of complex forming solvents, chemical agentsbeing added to the latter which together with the complex combination result in soluble reaction product.
  • the process of the chemical reaction or transformation according to the present invention is mainly a physical process, that is to say a double or mutual reaction or transformation is attained by employing a dissolving process in combination with a simultaneous precipitating process.
  • the image formingsub'stance, for which AgBr or AgCl is preferably selected is subjected to the action of a solvent which possesses a strong solvent action for the said substance while the solution and the agent added to the solvent, must be insoluble or only slightly soluble therein.
  • the function of the process may be best understood by an example with a simple solvent alan inthough this permits only a limited selection of transforming possibilities.
  • the silver chloride will be dissolved in the ammonium hydroxide and transformed with the ammonium molybdate into silver molybclate which is slightly soluble in diluted ammonium hydroxide and 'pre- I cipitated in place of the former silver chloride image.
  • the solvent is used according to the present process not unnecessarily concentrated but 'in a dilution which effects a good but not too quick solution of the image substance, in the above case a solu-, tion of about 10% ammonium hydroxide.
  • the transforming agent for instance, ammonium molybdate is added thereto usually concentrated.
  • a formation of the kind of a double salt solution and its further use forchemical transformation according to the present process takes place in the following manner by way of example:
  • the silver halide image is bathed in a diluted solution of about 2-5%, manganic thiocyanate whereupon the silver halide becomes transparent to the extent of the formation of its complex combination.
  • a compound is obtained whichis capable of reaction and can be used for further transformation.
  • the thiocyanate group cyanate reducing reactions may be carried out, as hereinafter described, or the manganese may be used for oxidation processes by transforming the same in the known manner by an alkaline of the. added manganic thiobath into a manganese dioxide image from which oxidation dye images can be produced.
  • a silver image is bleached in the known manner to form a silver chloride or bromide image and the latter' is bathed in a thiosiamine solution of to 1% to which is added sodium phosphotungstate in a concentration according to the above-mentioned indications 2.
  • silver phosphotungstate complex will be precipitated as the silver halide passes into solution in the thiosiamine. This precipitated matter is a means for fixing basic dyes in a waterproof and light fast manner. Therefore it is possible to obtain dye images by bathing the phosphotung'state image in a solution of a basic dye and subsequently removing the phosphotungstate image by treatment in a solution of thiosulphate.
  • azo dyes possess as components organic sulphonic acids and therefore azo dye images of an unlimited variety can be produced by the transformation of the silver image into the same and by a subsequent coupling bath with diazo components.
  • the insolubility of the respective complex silver combinations depends on the choice of the respective complex formers, and therefore in many cases preferably dialkylated thio-ureas, thiosemicarbazide, guanidine or similar suited substances are used in place, of thiosinamine.
  • image intensifications may be directly produced by subsequently treating the bluish toned or dyed silver image in an alkaline bath.
  • Silver sulphide is formed by the alkaline bath, which former intensifies the blue image and at the same time renders it black, if a readily decomposable sulphur compound is employed as complex-former.
  • the thiocarbamide possesses a characteristic which in a purely physical way can be used for producing photographic dye images. If in addition to the thiocarbamide a silver compound is used which is quite insoluble in the same and if concentrated thiocarbamide of about,5% is used, the image will be transformed into "a transparent caoutchouc-like substance. Thelatter closes the pores of the gelatine at the image-places in a watertight manner as if the same had been treated with resin. After the image has been dried, it is placed into an acidic dye-solvent and at the same time a silver-compound'is taken which does not show any causticity for dyes. In view thereof the dye is fully repelled at the places of the complex silver image and, by its imbibition into the remaining part of the gelatine, a negative dye image is produced compared with the initial image.
  • Process for toning silver images consisting in transforming the silver into silver halide, and subjecting the transformed image to a bath containing a complex forming solvent for the silver halide of the group of thiosinamine, thiourea, thiosemicarbazide, guanidine and containing also a reagent which immediately forms an insoluble precipitate with the silver complex, but which does not react with the silver halide.
  • Process for toning silver images consisting in transforming the silver into silver halide and subjecting the transformed image to a bath containing a complex forming solvent for the silver halide of the group of thiosinamine, thiourea, thiosemicarbazide, guanidineand containing also azo dye components having a sulfonic acid grouping.
