Abstract: Photographic elements, assemblages and processes for color diffusion transfer photography are described wherein certain azole compounds having at least two nitrogen atoms are employed as development restrainer precursors. Preferred azole compounds include benzotriazoles, triazoles, tetrazoles, indazoles and benzimidazoles. The azole compounds have an alkali-hydrolyzable, N,N-disubstituted carbamoyl group on one of the two nitrogen atoms.

Abstract: A multicolor diffusion transfer photographic system wherein development of an exposed multilayer photsensitive element is effected in the presence of a ligand which is represented by the formula ##STR1## wherein R is hydrogen, alkyl or hydroxyalkyl, m is an integer of from 3 to 10 and n is 0 or an integer of from 1 to 3 with the proviso that the sum of m and n is not greater than 10.

Abstract: A process for forming a very contrasty negative photographic image which comprises developing a photographic light-sensitive material comprising a support having thereon at least one layer of a negative image monodispersed silver halide photographic emulsion comprising substantially surface latent image type silver halide grains, wherein the average grain size of the silver halide grains is 0.7 micron or less, with the silver halide photographic emulsion containing a binder in an amount of 250 g or less per mol of silver halide, and at least one hydrographic colloid layer containing a compound represented by the following general formula (I):R.sup.1 NHNHCOR.sup.2 (I)wherein R.sup.1 represents an aryl group and R.sup.2 represents a hydrogen atom, a phenyl group or an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, in the presence of a compound represented by the following general formula (II) or (III): ##STR1## wherein Z.sup.1 and Z.sup.

Abstract: A photographic material having a light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer coated on a support and containing a compound, useful as a development inhibitor of the formula: ##STR1## wherein X, Y and Z are as herein defined, is described.

Abstract: A light-sensitive photographic material is provided which comprises, coated on a photobase, at least one silver halide emulsion layer, said emulsion layer or a layer adjacent thereto containing a development inhibitor releasing compound of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is substituted phenyl which contains a ballasting alkyl group, R.sub.2 represents the atoms necessary to complete a five or six membered heterocyclic ring system which may be further substituted and R.sub.3 is an aryl or heterocyclic radical, any of which ring systems may be further substituted, the group --S--R.sub.3 being a development inhibiting group.

Abstract: A method of processing light-sensitive silver halide photographic material to be treated with a developing solution containing no hydroquinones developing agent, which material comprises a support, a silver halide emulsion layer coated thereon containing silver halide grains having an average grain size of 0.1 to 0.8.mu., at least 75% of said grains being within a range of 0.6 to 1.4 times the said average grain size, and a tetrazolium specified compound.
