  • Patent number: 5776667
    Abstract: A color photographic recording material comprises in a yellow filter layer at least one dye of one of the formulae I and II ##STR1## in which R.sup.1, R.sup.3 and R.sup.5 (mutually independently) mean alkyl, cycloalkyl or aryl;R.sup.2 and R.sup.4 (mutually independently) mean hydrogen or alkyl;R.sup.21 means a residue as R.sup.1 ;R.sup.22 means a residue as R.sup.2 ;R.sup.23 means a residue as R.sup.1 ;provided that in formula I none of the residues R.sup.1 to R.sup.5 contains an alkyl chain of more than 3 carbon atoms.The dyes exhibit suitable absorption as yellow filter dyes and are completely decolored during processing.

  • Patent number: 5734946
    Abstract: Processing with a particularly economical use of chemicals is achieved with a device for the wet-chemical processing of a photographic material, in which at least one processing stage comprises a rack having a plurality of rotatable rollers which are in contact with the layer surface of the material, at least one roller being encased over 30.degree. to 300.degree. of its circumference in such a manner that processing fluid located in the space between the roller and the casing cannot fully escape.
