Abstract: A method of making a monodisperse regular grain silver halide high bromide emulsion is described comprising precipitating regular silver halide grains comprising greater than 50 mole percent bromide, based on total silver, in a reaction vessel, and adding to the reaction vessel before or during precipitation a disulfide compound represented by the following formula (I): where Y and Z are H atoms or substituents, which may be connected to form a carbocyclic or heterocyclic ring, X is —O—, —NH— or —NR—, where R is a substituent; M is —H— or a cationic species; and L is a linking group, where p is 0 or 1. The invention further provides a silver halide emulsion prepared by the method, and a photographic element comprising a silver halide emulsion prepared by the method.

Abstract: A photographic element capable of forming a reversal image is disclosed having an emulsion layer containing a blend of spectrally sensitized tabular iodohalide grains and a second, slower fine grain population of a higher overall solubility silver salt content for increasing speed and contrast. A second dye is adsorbed to the surface of the second grain population to provide a further increase in threshold speed.
