Definitions

  • coupler-in-emulsion type color sensitive materials which contain silver halide and color formers (hereinafter referred to as a coupler) which form dyes by reacting with an oxidation product of an aromatic amino photographic developing agent in the photographic emulsion layers, and coupler-in-developer type color sensitive materials which do not contain couplers in the photographic emulsion layers.
  • the present invention relates to such a coupler-in-developer type color sensitive material.
  • the following treatments are usually practiced in turn after exposing to light, that is, monochromatic white-black development, exposing to a red light at the support side of the sensitive material, cyan color development by a cyan color developer containing a cyan coupler and an aromatic amino photographic developing agent, exposing to a violet light at the emulsion side, yellow development by a yellow color developer containing a yellow coupler and an aromatic amino photographic developing agent, and magenta color development by a magenta color developer containing a magenta coupler and an aromatic amino photographic developing agent.
  • the present invention relates to 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 the magenta color image.
  • a more efiicient color reproduction system can be produced by increasing the density produced in the reversal color images. If the same density is kept, thinner emulsion layers can be produced and consequently it is possible to improve sharpness and to decrease the amount of silver halide in the emulsion layers.
  • the new process by this invention for improving the density of the reversal color images comprises treating a silver halide gelatin emulsion containing the following water-soluble polymer as the binder with color developing solutions containing color couplers.
  • the water-soluble polymers used for the above-mentioned which have been discovered by the present inventors, are those having a a repeating unit structure represented by the following formula:
  • x is within the range 50gx 100, preferably which represents a ratio of both blocks represented by the above-mentioned rational formula.
  • Preferable polymers among these polymers are those having a number average molecular weight in a range of 5,000-200,000, especially 20,000100,000.
  • 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 the gelatin in the emulsion. Though addition of the water-soluble polymer may take place at any step before coating the emulsion, it is preferable to add it any time from after ripening to coating.
  • the amount of the polymer used in the present invention is preferably in a range of 1%90%, especially 5%50%, by weight, based on the combined weight of gelatin and said copolymers.
  • the gelatin emulsion contans silver iodide bromide as the silver halide.
  • the silver halide emulsion may be sensitized by compounds which contain labile sulfur such as a sodium thiosulfate and allyl thiourea etc., and/or complex salts such as this cyanato aurite, and/or reduction sensitizers such as amino compounds and stannous chloride (refer to The Theory of the Photographic Process, 3rd edition, Macmillan Company, New York (1966), pages 113-116), and/or polyalkyleneoxide derivatives.
