  • Patent number: 4315069
    Abstract: Color photographic material is described in which a yellowish image is formed which can be used to print black and white prints. Also present in the layer is a small amount of a more reactive coupler which produces a colored image to which black and white paper is not sensitive. This more reactive coupler reduces the fog in the highlight areas.Most preferably small amounts of other couplers are present which result in a green or brown image which makes it easier for the operator to focus the image.

  • Patent number: 4283472
    Abstract: Novel 5-pyrazolone magenta dye-forming couplers are blocked with a coupler moiety which yields an alkali-soluble or colorless reaction product. The coupler moiety is joined via its coupling position to the enol oxygen of the 5-pyrazolone and is displaced therefrom during processing as a result of reaction by means of oxidized color developing agent to thereby activate the 5-pyrazolone coupler. These couplers have good reactivity and good resistance to aerial contaminants, such a formaldehyde, and can be incorporated in photographic emulsions and elements.
