Definitions

  • My present invention relates to increasing the brilliancy of photographic pictures.
  • One of its objects is a process of increasing the brilliancy of photographic pictures which comprises fixing the pictures in the presence of a non-toning substance capable of forming a silver salt which by reaction with sodium thio sulfate forms a soluble complex compound more slowly and with more difficulty than does silver chloride.
  • Another object is a fixing composition containing such a substance. Further objects will be seen from the detailed specification following hereinafter.
  • an increased brilliancy of photographic pictures may advantageously be attained by taking care that non-toning substances that is to say substances which do not react with the silver of the produced picture are present during the fixing process, which form difficultly soluble silver salts and are transformed only very slowly into soluble complex compounds with the aid of thiosulfate, that is to say which more difilcultly form a soluble complex compound with sodium thiosuliate than silver chloride. or silver bromide.
  • the substances which enter into consideration behave in the fixing bath in the same manner as behaves a small quantity or iodine which yields with silver and thiosulfate more diiiicultly soluble complex compounds than the chloride or bromide. Probably the difiicultly soluble complex compounds form a protective layer around the sliver particles and thus protect them against the slight dissolving property of the fixing bath and against aggregation.
  • an intensifying of the silver pictures does not occur, the tone of the picture is influenced only to such an extent as is possible by physical change of the grain. Since the said additional substances, in contrast with most of the toning or intensifying substances, have no tendency of forming strongly colored compounds (sulfide, selenide) with silver halide or of reducing silver halide to form metallic silver, fogging of the white portions cannot occur nor can it occur when varying within wide limits the concentration of the addition or other conditions of working.
  • thioaniline 2.2'- diaminodiphenyl disulfide, mercaptobenzthiazole, dithiocarbanilic acid, dithioaldehyde thiocyanate, phenylthiourethane, guanylthiourea, thiohydantoine, thiobenzamide, thioacetanilide, thioformaldehyde, dinitrophenylthiocyanate, ethyl-phenyl-dithiocarbamic acid, diphenylene sulfide, 5.6.7-trichloro-3-oxythionaphthene, 1-amino-i-methylaminothiosulfonic acid, triphenylthiodicyanogen-diamidine, N-phenyl-S- cresyldithiourethane, tetzamethylthiuramtetrasulfide, thiobarbituric acid, tetranitrodipheny
  • theeilect When employing organic sulfur compounds, theeilect consists in forming a dimcultly soluble silver salt. A formation of silver sulfide is not eflfected, since these substances are not capable of forming silver sulfide under the prevailing conditions of working.
  • Example 1 To a fixing bath containing 200 grams of sodium thiosulfate and 20 grams of potassium metabisulfite in one liter there are added 2 grams of lysalbinic acid.
  • the photographic pictures with the aid of such a fixing bath are distinguished by an increased brilliancy.
  • Example 2 To the above specified fixing bath there is added 0.1 gram of 2.2'-diaminodiphenyldisulfide.
  • Example 30.1 gram of 4-ethylthiochlorobenzoic acid is added t 1 liter of one of the known developers for photographic papers.
