Abstract: Silver halide light sensitive photographic print elements are disclosed comprising a support bearing on one side thereof: a blue color sensitive record comprising at least one blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion yellow-image forming layer, a red color sensitive record comprising at least one red-sensitive silver halide emulsion cyan-image forming layer, and a green color sensitive record comprising at least one green-sensitive silver halide emulsion magenta-image forming layer; wherein at least one of the color records has a fixed best fit contrast less than or equal to 2.2, wherein the fixed best fit contrast for a color record is defined as the slope of a straight line connecting a point B and a point C on the characteristic curve of Status A density versus log Exposure for the color record, where points B and C are located by defining a point A on the characteristic curve at the log Exposure required to attain a density level of 1.

Abstract: Method of making 4-amino-6-t-butyl-3-mercapto-1,2,4-triazin-5-one comprising halogenating a 3,3-dimethylbutyric acid with Br.sub.2 or Cl.sub.2 to produce a 2,2-dihalo-3,3-dimethylbutyric acid then reacting the latter with thiocarbohydrazide. Alternatively, a 3,3-dimethylbutyryl chloride can be used as starting material, in which case the halogenation product is contacted with water, an aqueous base, an alcohol, a mercaptan, or an amine to convert it to an acid or salt thereof, anhydride, ester, thioester or amide, and the latter is reacted with thiocarbohydrazide.
