Abstract: A light-sensitive color photographic material with improved color reproducibility which comprises on a support a plurality of light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layers including a red-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, a green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, a blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer and at least one silver halide emulsion layer having reverse photo-response to that of the red-, green-, and blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layers, being capable of forming a reverse dye image having substantially the same hue as that is to be formed in the green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, and having maximun sensitivity wavelength (.lambda.-G) of the spectral sensitivity distribution in the region of from 400nm to 500nm.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an image forming method and apparatus in which a photographic material is subjected to an exposure by scanning with laser beam being of blue, green and red wavelengths as an exposure means, the photographic material used in the above scanning exposure process is a silver halide photographic material comprising blue, green and red sensitive silver halide emulsion layers, the silver halide of at least one of which emulsion layers is silver chloroiodobromide whose silver bromide content is from zero to 65 mol %.
