4 Claims. (01. 95-88) I This invention relates to photographic de- Bath No.2 I velopers, and more particularly to developers in Sodium sumte 10 grams 3 1 3 ifi m replaced a Sodium salt or triethanolamine 50''. do.

These developers usually con- The film 01' Plate first immersed in Bath N tain developing agents, a so-called preservative, 2 t0 3 minutes n then in Bath N 2 until such as sodium sulfite, and an alkali, such as v pm i mpl sodium or potassium carbonate, or sodium or EXAM-91,33

In recent years various p 10 sensitive materials and photographic processes E1011 5 have appeared with which the use of these relanydrpqumone 10 tively strong alkalies is objectionable for one sodium sumte: 75 reason or another. One object of this invention sqdium Salt is to provide developers containing a milder al- Pmassmm bromide 5 9- 15 kali.
