Abstract: Photographic elements, assemblages and processes are described for producing a monochromatic dye image. The assemblage comprises:(a) a photosensitive element comprising a support having thereon a layer of nondiffusible dye image-providing material, a stripping layer, an opaque layer and a silver halide emulsion layer;(b) a transparent cover sheet; and(c) opaque processing composition for application between the element and cover sheet. A dye mordant layer may also be present on the element or cover sheet.After exposure and processing, the layer of nondiffusible dye image-providing material on a support is stripped away to provide a monochromatic retained dye image without the need for bleaching and fixing.
