Abstract: An improved process is disclosed for uniformly dispersing hydrophobic materials through a hydrophilic colloid layer such as, for example, a photographically useful layer containing gelatin. The process over which the present invention is a valuable improvement comprises the steps:(a) forming an aqueous dispersion by intermixing the hydrophobic material and an aqueous polymeric latex, optionally including gelatin in the dispersion;(b) forming a wet layer by coating onto a suitable support the aqueous dispersion from step (a); and(c) thereafter removing a substantial proportion of the water from the wet layer through which the hydrophobic material is dispersed.The present process relates particularly to improvements in step (a), wherein the "aqueous dispersion" is formed by blending a loadable polymeric latex into a solution of the hydrophobic material dissolved in a water-miscible solvent using techniques which avoid coagulation of the hydrophobic material or the particles of the latex.
