• an object of the present invention is to provide a photographic silver halide emulsion which has been spectrally sensitized and in which the formation of fogging by dyes and also the deterioration in the spectrally sensitizing property of the dye, in the course of storage, have been prevented without reducing substantially the spectral sensitivity itself.
