Definitions

  • ABSTRACT least 30C by means of an aromatic primary amino colour developing agent in the presence of a colour forming coupling compound, wherein the said element comprises at least one layer of a silver halide emulsion obtained by mixing, prior to coating, with the silver halide emulsion capable of producing a visible image by the said radiation-wise exposure and subsequent development, a relatively low-speed silver chloridecontaining emulsion, the speed of which is insufficient to produce a visible image by the said exposure and development.
  • the non-image forming silver chloride-containing emulsion to the image' forming silver halide emulsion colour images with satisfactory contrast are obtained upon processing at elevated temperature which is of particular importance for the production of radiographic colour images.
  • the present invention relates to processes for producing photographic colour images by rapid processing at elevated temperature of exposed photographic lightsensitive silver halide colour materials.
  • normal processing is modified e.g. in that one or more steps are combined or one or more steps are eliminated and other steps are included as is for instance the case in the so-called stabilisation processing
  • speed of normal processing can be enhanced by such means as the use of higher concentrations of the processing ingredients, the use of higher temperatures, the recourse to more intense agitations and the use of development-activating substances.
  • colour materials are of ever increasing interest. They are used in the most divergent areas of photography where it is often highly desirable to dispose of the recorded information in a minimum of time. For instance, colour materials are now used also in the field of radiography since the use of radiographic colour recording materials makes it possible to visually retrievemore information from the recorded image than from a corresponding black-andwhite image since the latter only provides differences in brightness while a colour image offers in addition thereto differences in hue and saturation.
  • coloured radiographs reference may be made e.g.
  • the gradation is not or much less reduced by rapid development at increased temperature and remains in a satisfactory range when to the image-forming silver halide emulsion a very low speed non-image-forming silver chloride-containing emulsion is added. This is illustrated in the examples below. Experiments wherein the low speed silver chloride containing emulsion was coated as a separate layer underneath the imageforming silver halide emulsion layer showed that this arrangement has less effect on the gradation when rapidly processing at increased temperature and therefore is less useful.
  • a method of producing photographic colour images, which method comprises colour'developing in the presence of a colour coupler at a temperature of at least 30C, a photographic element comprising an exposed silver halide emulsion layer wherein the said silver halide emulsion layer is obtained by mixing prior to coating with the silver halide emulsion capable of producing a visible image by the said exposure and subsequent development, a relatively low-speed silver chloride containing emulsion, the speed of which is insufficient to produce a visible image by the said exposure and development.
  • the colour couplers which upon colour develop ment couple with the oxidation products of the aromatic primary amino colour developing agent, are preferably incorporated into the photographic emulsion in a non-migratory form, but they may also be dissolved in the emulsion from the developing bath.
  • the speed of the silver chloride-containing emulsion is not important as long as a visible image is not formed therein upon exposure and development of the imageforming silver halide emulsion.
  • the blue light sensitivity of the image-forming silver halide emulsion is at least 100 times the blue-light-sensitivity of the silver chloride-containing emulsion. Since lightsensitivity of the silver chloride containing emulsion is not a factor the silver chloride-containing emulsion does not require a second digestion or after ripening.
  • the low-speed silver chloride-containing emulsion, which is washed free of excess salts, is preferably a finegrain silver chloride-containing emulsion having a particle size in the range from 50 to 500 nm.
  • the amount of low-speed silver chloride containing emulsion to be added to the image-forming silver halide emulsion may vary within very wide limits. Favourable results may be obtained even when the ratio of low speed silver chloride to image-forming silver halide, ex-
  • pressed in parts by weight of silver nitrate is as low as 1:100.
  • the amount to be added for obtaining optimal results is dependent on the particular effect desired, on the kind of image-forming silver halide emulsion, on the nature of the low speed silver chloride containing emulsion, etc., and can be easily determined by some simple tests known to those skilled in the art.
  • the low'speed emulsion may be a pure silver chloride emulsion or an emulsion of mixed silver halides comprising silver chloride for example a silver chlorobromide emulsion.
  • Low speed silver bromide or silver bromoiodide emulsions cannot be used. lt-would appear that the aimed effect is dependent on the silver chloride content in the said low speed emulsion, which means that the amount of low speed emulsion to be added for obtaining a certain effect is generally higher as the amount of silver chloride in the said emulsion is lower. Therefore, in order to minimize the amount of low speed emulsion to be added to the image-forming silver halide emulsion, the said low speed emulsion is preferably a silver chloride emulsion for the greater part.
  • the image-forming silver halide emulsion is preferably a medium or high speed image-forming silver halide emulsion in which the silver halide is predominantly silver bromide for example pure silver bromide emulsions and silver bromoiodide emulsions, the iodide content of which is less than mole
  • the image-forming silver halide emulsion may be chemically sensitized by any of the accepted procedures.
  • the emulsions may be digested with naturally active gelatin or with small amounts of sulphur containing compounds such as allyl thiocyanate, allyl thiourea, sodium thiosulphate, etc.
  • the image-forming emulsion may also be sensitized by means of reductors for instance tin compounds as described in the United Kingdom Patent Specification No. 789,823 filed Apr. 29, 1955 by Gevaert Photo-Producten N.V., polyamines e.g. diethyltriamine, and small amounts of noble metal compounds such as gold, platinum, palladium, iridium, ruthenium and rhodium as described by R. Koslowsky, Z. Wiss. Phot. 46, 67-72 1951).
  • noble metal compounds are ammonium chloropalladate, potassium chloroplatinate, potassium chloroaurate and potassium aurithiocyanate.
  • the reductors for instance tin compounds as described in the United Kingdom Patent Specification No. 789,823 filed Apr. 29, 1955 by Gevaert Photo-Producten N.V., polyamines e.g. diethyltriamine, and small amounts of noble metal compounds such as gold, platinum, palladium, irid
  • emulsions may also be sensitized chemically by the combined use of these chemical sensitizers.
  • Emulsion stabilizers and antifoggants may be added to the silver halide emulsion before or after admixture of the low-speed emulsion, for instance, the known sulphinic and selenic acids or salts thereof, aliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic mercapto compounds or disulphides, preferably comprising sulpho groups or carboxyl groups, mercury compounds for example those described in Belgian Patents 524,121 filed Nov. 7, 1953 by Kodak S.A., 677,337 filed Mar. 4, 1966, 707,386 filed Dec. 1, 1967 and 709,195 filed Jan. 11, 1968 all three by Gevaert-Agfa NV. and tetraazaindenes as described by Birr in Z.
