  • the present invention concerns a new process for improving the density of reversal color images in the cyan color development, yellow color development and magenta color development, and especially to a new process for improving the density of magenta color images.
  • the present invention it is possible to obtain a more efiicient color reproduction system and to produce a thinner emulsion layer by increasing the density obtained in the reversal color images. Accordingly, it is possible to improve sharpness and to econimize silver halide in the emulsion layer.
  • the new process for improving the density of the reversal color images by the present invention comprises treating a silver halide gelatin emulsion containing the following water soluble polymer as the binder with color developer containing color couplers.
  • the water soluble polymers used for the above-mentioned object which have been found out by'these inventors, are those having a repeated unit structure represented by the following formula:
  • R2 latnltoflta R hydrogen atom or methyl group
  • X is a range of x 210 which represents a ratio of both blocks represented by the above-mentioned rational formula. When x: 100, it represents polyacrylarnide.
  • Especially preferable polymers among these polymers are those having a number average molecular weight in a range of SWIG-3,000,000. (Abbreviated as n.a.m.w.)
  • water soluble polymers used are shown, as exemplary, and not as limiting.

  • X is greater or equal 75 and smaller or equal 95 concerning from water soluble polymers 2 to 6.
  • the water soluble polymer used in the present invention may be added solely to a gelatin emulsion or may be added by substituting a part of gelatin in the emulsion. Though addition of the water soluble polymer may take place at any step before coating of the emulsion, it is preferable to add at the step from afterripening to coating.
  • a preferable amount is in a range of 1%90% particularly 50% (by weight) based on the combined amount (weight) of said gelatin and said copolymer.
  • the silver halide emulsion may be sensitized by compounds which contain labili sulfur such as sodium thiosulfate and allyl thiourea etc., and/or complex salts of monovalent 'gold and thiocyanic acid, and/ or reduction sensitizers such as amino compounds and stannous chloride (refer to The Theory of the Photographic Process: 3rd edition; McMillan Company, New York (1966), pages 113- 116), and/or polyalkylene oxide derivatives.
