  • Rapid processing of high contrast aerial color negative film
    Patent number: 6399288
    Abstract: High contrast color images can be obtained from aerial color photography by rapidly processing certain color photographic silver halide films with a color developing composition under certain conditions. The color developing composition can have a pH of from about 10.2 to about 10.6 and a color developing agent at a concentration of least 0.015 mol/l. Color development is carried out for less than 180 seconds at from about 40 to about 42° C. The resulting color images have a contrast greater than 0.83, low Dmin, low granularity and high sharpness and resolution.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 14, 2000
    Date of Patent: June 4, 2002
    Assignee: Eastman Kodak Company
