  • This application describes a bleach-fix bath for use in processing colour photographic material comprising a mild oxidising agent, a silver-halide solvent and a bleachfix accelerator which is a water soluble selenium compound selected from defined classes of selenosemi-carbazides and analogous bis-compounds, 1,2,4-triazole-3- selenols and 5,5-bis, 1,2,4-triazole-3-selen0ls, the invention including the baths per se and their use in colour processing of photographic material.
  • a bleach-fix bath for use in processing colour photographic material comprising a mild oxidising agent, a silver-halide solvent and a bleachfix accelerator which is a water soluble selenium compound selected from defined classes of selenosemi-carbazides and analogous bis-compounds, 1,2,4-triazole-3- selenols and 5,5-bis, 1,2,4-triazole-3-selen0ls, the invention including the baths per se and their use in colour
  • This invention relates to the processing of photographic material comprising silver halide emulsion layers to yield material having colour dye images therein.
  • a developable silver salt image is developed with an aromatic primary amino developing agent of the paraphenylene diamine type (a so-called colour developer) in the presence of a compound (a so-called colour coupler) which will combine with the oxidation products of the colour developer to form an azomethine or quinone-imine dye.
  • the dye is thus formed in situ with the developed silver image.
  • the product must be treated with a bleach bath and a fixing bath or a combined bleach-fix bath thereby to remove silver and any residual silver halide or other silver salt, leaving in the product only the dye image.
  • the photographic material comprises at least one silver halide emulsion layer which includes as a dispersion therein an organic dyestufi of the type which can be destroyed (or bleached) by finely divided silver in a suitable treatment bath.
  • the organic dyestutt' is usually an azo dye.
  • Most commonly three such silver halide emulsion layers are present each of which is sensitive to a different region of the visible spectrum and each of which contains a difierent azo dye.
  • the usual processing sequence for the production of a dye image in the material is after an imagewise exposure to develop the material in a black and white developer. The development is then stopped and the unexposed silver halide is fixed out.
  • the material is treated in a dye-bleach bath which oxidises the silver image and simultaneously reduces (bleaches) the dye in the region of the silver image.
  • the silver salts and any residual silver must then be removed. This is usually accomplished by washing the material after its treatment in the dye-bleach bath and then treating it in a bleach bath followed by a fixing bath or treating it in a combined bleach-fix bath.
  • the photographic material then contains a dye image only; this dye image being usually a direct positive reproduction of the original.
  • the amount of residual silver left after the dye-bleach step is not negligible because this material requires to be processed so that the dye-bleach step is terminated before all the image silver has been used in reducing the dye.
  • an effective silver bleach step succeeds the dye-bleach step in order to ensure that the residual silver is removed as completely as possible from the material.
