Abstract: When color reversal materials are developed by a process that comprises prolonged contact with the first, or black-and-white developer, images with a color mismatch or speed deficiency can occur. Such undesirable results can be reduced or eliminated by including in the reversal material, a layer of colloidal elemental silver. The layer can be adjacent to a light sensitive, silver halide-containing layer, which is present within a color record who's speed is to be increased in order to reduce the color mismatch. The amount of colloidal elemental silver employed is less than that used in the art to protect an underlying light sensitive, silver halide layer from exposure by unwanted light.

Abstract: Photographic elements and assemblages are described employing positive-working redox dye-releasers, wherein the element contains an oxidant which is located between the support and the photosensitive portion thereof. The oxidant has an electrode potential of from about -200 mV up to about 1200 mV versus a saturated calomel electrode at a pH of about 5 to about 6. After processing, the oxidant reacts with the electron transfer agent to prevent it from reacting with the dye releaser which would otherwise cause further dye release. The reduced form of the oxidant is then substantially incapable of reducing the positive-working redox dye-releaser. D.sub.min stability is thereby improved.
