Abstract: The adhesion of photographic layers to a film base thateither has, on one or both sides, a surface consisting of a polyolefin layer that has been treated with a corona discharge,or consists of a polyester film provided with a (first) substrate layeris improved by an adhesive layer that is applied in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion consisting of50 to 60 wt % of oil-formers and40 to 50 wt % of a solid consisting of50 to 80 wt % gelatin and20 to 50 wt % colloidal SiO.sub.2together with the following layers to the surface of the film base.

Abstract: In order to be able to cast additional layers on auxiliary layers of photographic materials immediately after the latter have been cast without encountering any difficulties as regards uniformity of the cast layer and wet adherence due to incomplete conversion of the gelatine from the sol to the gel form, the auxiliary layer must contain an effective quantity of at least one compound obtained by the reaction of trihydric to hexahydric alcohols with propylene oxide.

Abstract: The photographic silver halide recording material contains particles of a hydroxyalkyl-alkyl cellulose dicarboxylic acid semiester having a particle size of from 0.5 to 8 .mu.m and a particle size distribution of up to .+-.2 .mu.m dispersed in a hydrophilic colloid in at least one of its outermost layers.

Abstract: An antistatic layer applied to the back of the photographic material contains (A) a mixture of sodium magnesium silicate and the sodium salt of polystyrene sulphonic acid and (B) a succinic acid semi-ester compound. The antistatic layer is distinguished by high abrasion resistance and its good qualities as writing and printing surface.

Abstract: The color yield and color granularity of color photographic recording materials is improved by using compounds of the general formula I as the sole or as additional oil formers in coupler-containing internal layers. The effect is particularly clear in layers having the small amount of gelatine. ##STR1## wherein: R.sup.1 is an aliphatic group having at least 8 carbon atoms,R.sup.2 is hydrogen or alkyl,R.sup.3 is a heterocyclic group or --(X).sub.n --R.sup.4,R.sup.4 is aryl,X is --O--, --NH--, --NCH.sub.3 --, or --CH.dbd.CH--,m is 0, 1 or 2, andn is 0 or 1.

Abstract: Hydrophobic substances, particularly hydrophobic additive for photographic layers such as couplers may be dispersed in an aqueous medium in a two--or more--stage process using an oil-former. In a main dispersion stage the total quantity of the hydrophobic substance is dispersed in the aqueous medium without oil-former or with only part of the total quantity of oil-former. The residual portion of oil-former is dispersed in the aqueous medium without hydrophobic substance in at least one further dispersion stage preceding or following the main dispersion stage. The oil-former used is preferably a compound or a mixture of compounds selected from triaryl phosphates, dialkyl phthalates, monoesters of .alpha.-substituted succinic acid or of hydrogenated phthalic acids and aliphatic or cycloaliphatic alcohols of at least 10 carbon atoms. The process yields dispersions of improved stability of digestion.

Abstract: Hydrophilic color-forming compounds such as couplers and color-providing compounds for the dye diffusion transfer process may be emulsified with the aid of oil formers when they are in admixture with aliphatic tertiary hydroxy amino compounds as specified hereinafter.

Abstract: Compounds of the formula ##STR1## are useful in photographic materials and processes for the color development.

Abstract: Protein containing photographic layers are hardened by coating with a hardening solution which contains at least one quick-acting hardener which activates carboxyl groups and at least one polysaccharide.

Abstract: A color photographic recording material is provided containing at least one dye image or a color coupler for the production of a dye image and the material contains in at least one hydrophilic layer a hydroxyindane as defined hereinafter to reduce the fading of the image dye on exposure to UV or visible light.

Abstract: The mechanical properties of gelatin layers for photographic materials are improved by the addition of water-insoluble, elastic copolymers which consist of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid esters (I) which may be mixed with other vinyl and divinyl monomers (II) and which contain comonomers (III) which contain disulfone imidoester or sulfonimidophosphoric acid ester or amide groups.
