Definitions

  • Our present invention relates to color photography.
  • anilides or the like These compounds are to be nely dispersed, forI example, by introducinginto the gelatin an alcoholic solution of the compound which is insoluble inwater, so that the' compound is precipitated in the photographic layer. In this manner it is possible to incorporate the compounds in the gelatin in such a fine state of distribution that notwithstanding the insolubility of the compound in water the gelatin dries to a, transparent layer.
  • Another procedure for adding dyestuff components to the gelatin in water insoluble form makes use of coupling components which can be fixed by mordanting.
  • Such coupling components for example, naphthol,
  • chromotropic acid or the like can be xed on the gelatin with the aid of a metal oxide and provided that the component has a suitable constitution the gelatin will dry to a layer clear as glass.
  • the present invention is based on the dis covery that it is possible to incorporate in the photographic layer azocomponents from aqueous solutions in such a manner thatv they are resistant towards the usual photographic baths by choosing those azo-dyestuff components which have substantive properties with respect to the layer.
  • azo-dyestuff components which have substantive properties with respect to the layer.
  • the addition of these substantive comu pounds naturally does not in any way impair the served, since in contrast Vto other processes the compounds are not distributed heterogeneously inthe layer but are actually dissolved in the gelatin.
  • The' procedure for carrying out the invention may consist for example, in adding to a solution of gelatin or the like a solution of an azo-component or ,diazo-component which is substantive towards gelatin, whereuponthe gelatin is thoroughly washed with water and then worked up in the usualmanner. It is also possible totreat algelatin layer o1 a foil of gelatin with a solution of one ofthe aforesaid dyestui components. ln both cases the gelatin, in the language of the dyeing industry, is dyed by the dyestuff component even though in the case of a colorless component the layer does not acquire a color which can be perceived by the eye. Y
  • gelatin which has been rtreated. with Vboth dyestui components may be worked up into a silver halide emulsion. .After exposure the silver image is bleached in a bleaching bath which at the same time tans and hardens the gelatin .atthe exposedparts of the layer. If now the layer is treated with an acidifled solution of sodium nitrite, Adiasotization and formation of a dyestuif occur at thoseparts of the picture area which are ⁇ not hardened and are therefore accessible to the action of the nitrite solution.
  • Another procedure may consist in dyeing the gelatin only with the azocomponent and then either converting the silver image into an anti-diazotate image (for vexample according to U. S. Patent No. 1,963,197) or caus- 5 ing the silver halide to adsorb a diazonium compound and after washing forming the dyestui in a coupling bath.
  • the gelatin is dyed with di-ortho-sulfobenzylidene-4:4diami nodiphenylurea corresponding with the formula S 03H B 01H a yellow picture may be obtained by means o! the anti-diazotate of -naphthylamine.

  • a furth'er procedure in accordance with the invention consists in dyeing the gelatin with both dyestuff components and then converting the silver image into an insoluble nitrite compound.
  • a. red picture may be produced, for example, from the urea from para-dimethylaminobenzoyl-para-aminobenzoyl-2-amino--naph- 15 thol-'I-sulfonic acid corresponding with the formula Ho, NH-coONn-oo-Omcnm pounds of aminonaphthol sulfonic and carboxylic acids (a compound of this group corresponds with the formula -O-NH-oo-O-Nm) of naphthylamine sulfonlc and carboxylic acids (a compound of this group corresponds with the formula of cresotinic acid and of diaminocarbazole disul- 4 ionic acid (a.
  • the invention is of particular importance in its application to the production of photographs 35 in natural colors. If there are cast in superimposed relationship emulsions of which each vis sensitized for one of the primary colors and is dyed with appropriate dyestuff components, the
  • color synthesis can be conducted in the layers in ample, in the case of a three-color rllm two color images may be produced on one side of the support byI the process of the invention, whereas the remaining color image may be produced, for example, on the other side of the support by toning or on the same side by an imbib-ition process.
  • the invention comprises a photographic material consisting of a support coated on one or both sides with one or more layers of silver halide gelatin emulsion which is or are dyed with an azo-dyestuff component or components substantive with respect to the layer.
  • Example 1 A nlm coated with a layer of gelatin is bathed in the following solution:
  • the material is Washed with Water for about 1/2 hour. Then the sheet is bathed in a solution of p-diphenylamindiazonium sulfate and is dried. After exposure under an original and treatment with an aqueous solution of ammonia or gazeous ammonia a blue picture is produced at the places which were not illuminated.
  • Example 2 l There is produced a solution of 10grams of p-dimethylamidobenzoyl-p-amidobenzoyl-(2-amino-5-naphthol-7-sulfonic acid) in 1000 cc. of water, with the addition of 10 cc. of a causticsoda solution of 20% strength.
  • a silver bromide emulsion layer is bathed for 10 minutes and washed with water for about 1 hour.
  • An original is printed on this layer, and the layer developed, fixed and the silver image bleached by means of copper chloride.
  • the bleached-out silver image is converted into naphthylamine-antidiazotate-si 1v e r 'by means ol an alkaline solution of -naphthylamine-antidiazotate-sodium and t h o r o u g h l y Washed.v
  • this picture is immersed into a solution of 1 gram of citric acid and 1 gram of potassium bromide, a red azo-dye picture is produced. The silver bromide is removed by fixing.
  • the solution is filtered and mixed with a solution of grams of urea-bis-(p-amidobenzoyl-pphenylenediamine sulionic acid) in a quantity of Water as small as possible and a small amount oi caustic soda solution; a silver bromide emulsion layer is bathed therein for about 10 minutes,
  • Example d l00 cc. of silver bromide emulsion are mixed with a solution of 0.5 gram of 2.3-hydroxynaphthoic-acid-a-naphthalide in l0 cc. of a caustic soda solution of 5% strength.
