Abstract: Light-sensitive silver halide color photographic elements comprising a silver halide photographic emulsion layer including a) at least one 2,5-diacylamino phenol cyan coupler dissolved in low-boiling water-immiscible organic solvent droplets dispersed in said emulsion layer in reactive association with at least one non-ionic surfactant compound having a HLB higher than 20 and at least one anionic surfactant compound and b) at least one cationic carbocyanine spectral sensitizing dye.

Abstract: Aliphatic diesters of alkylenedicarboxylic acid compounds are water-immiscible high-boiling organic solvents useful for dispersing hydrophobic photographic additives in hydrophilic colloid compositioins which are incorporated into light-sensitive silver halide photographic materials.In particular, said aliphatic diesters of alkylenedicarboxylic acid compounds correspond to the general formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5, R.sub.6, R.sub.7, R.sub.8, R.sub.9 and R.sub.10, equal or different, each represents a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group, with the proviso that at least one of R.sub.3, R.sub.5, R.sub.7 and R.sub.9 is an alkyl group or at least one pair of R.sub.4 and R.sub.6 or R.sub.8 and R.sub.10 are both alkyl groups and the total number of carbon atoms in R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5 and R.sub.6 and the total number of carbon atoms in R.sub.7, R.sub.8, R.sub.9 and R.sub.10 is, each, less than 12, and m is 0 to 10.

Abstract: Alkylenglycol aliphatic diesters are water-immiscible high-boiling organic solvents useful for dispersing hydrophobic photographic additives in hydrophilic colloid compositions which are incorporated into the composing layers of light-sensitive silver halide photographic materials.In particular, said alkylenglycol aliphatic diesters correspond to general formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2, the same or different, each represents an alkyl group having 1 to 15 carbon atoms, Q represents an acylic hydrocarbon divalent group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, m represents 0 or 1 and the total number of carbon atoms represented in R.sub.1 +R.sub.2 is at least 6.

Abstract: In a reversal process for the formation of color photographic images which consists of a black and white development (first development) to obtain a first negative image, followed by exposure and/or uniform fogging of the residual silver halide and a further processing (including a second color development), to obtain a second visible (in transparency) color positive image, of a silver halide color multilayer material which comprises, coated on a support base, one or more red-sensitive silver halide emulsion layers associated with dispersed non-diffusing hydrophobic cyan couplers, one or more green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layers associated with dispersed non-diffusing hydrophobic magenta couplers and one or more blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layers associated with dispersed non-diffusing hydrophobic yellow couplers, the improvement which consists of the reversal development of said magenta-forming layer being performed in the absence of a significant presence of oil.
