Abstract: A color negative film is disclosed capable of producing dye images suitable for digital scanning.

Abstract: An improved spectrally sensitized ultrathin tabular grain emulsion is disclosed in which tabular grains (a) having {111} major faces, (b) containing greater than 70 mole percent bromide, based on silver, (c) accounting for greater than 90 percent of total grain projected area, (d) exhibiting an average equivalent circular diameter of at least 0.7 .mu.m, (e) exhibiting an average thickness of less than 0.07 .mu.m, and (f) having latent image forming chemical sensitization sites on the surfaces of the tabular grains, are spectrally sensitized and improved by employing in forming the surface chemical sensitization sites at least one silver salt epitaxially located on the tabular grains.
