Abstract: This invention is concerned with photographic products, particularly diffusion transfer photographic film units, useful in photographic processes conducted outside of a camera wherein post-exposure fogging by ambient light is prevented by a compound initially present as a substantially colorless compound which is activated by base to provide a light-absorbing reagent or colored optical filter agent which is capable of being irreversibly discharged without a change in pH. The colorless compound or filter agent precursor is initially disposed in a layer of the film unit, for example, in a layer coated over the photosensitive element. Subsequent to imagewise exposure of the photosensitive element, the colored optical filter agent is generated by contacting the colorless precursor with a basic processing composition.
