Definitions
- This invention relates to color photography and particularly to mixed packet photographic emulsions.
- mixed grain photographic emulsions that is, photographic systems in which differently sensitized silver halide grains are incorporated in a single photographic emulsion layer and used to produce differently colored photographic images in the layer.
- Mixed grain systems have a number of advantages, chief among which is the simplicity of coating a single emulsion layer rather than several layers. Other advantages are the improved definition obtained by having the differently sensitized particles juxtaposed in a single layer, and the simplification of processing which is generally obtained.
- the system described in the Godowsky application requires a separate packet former and coupler; this is sometimes a disadvantage.
- the resin couplers wh ch we propose to use havethe following recurring structure:
- R is hydrogen or a phenyl, alkyl, alkoxy, car boxyalkyl or acyloxy radical, x and y are 0 or 1
- R represents a color-forming group capable of reacting with the oxidation product of a primary aromatic amino developing agent on photographic development
- R" is hydrogen or an alkyl radical, e. g., methyl or ethyl, said color-forming material containing an aryl group.
