Abstract: A silver halide motion picture film can be used to provide multicolor images for archival storage, exhibiting excellent dark stability as determined by Arrhenius testing. This motion picture film can be imaged using common digital recorders. The resulting multicolor image has a Dmax in each color record of at least 2.3 Status A density. The overall contrast from each of the blue light sensitive color record, the red light sensitive color record, and the green light sensitive color record is the slope of a straight line connecting a point A and a point B on the characteristic curve of Status A density vs. log Exposure (E) for the respective color record, wherein point A is the log Exposure (E) required to attain a density level of 0.4 above Dmin and point B is the point represented by the log Exposure (E) of point A plus 0.7 log Exposure (E).

Abstract: A multi-color photographic silver halide element has a total gelatin level on the imaging side of the support is less than 9000 mg/m2, and bulk gelatin-to-junk weight ratio for all of the light sensitive layers on the imaging side of the support is greater than 1.5. This weight ratio is defined by: Bulk gelatin-to-junk ratio=[(Bgel×Bgel/junk)+(Rgel×Rgel/junk)+(Ggel+Ggel/junk)]÷(Bgel+Rgel+Ggel) wherein Bgel is the total gelatin level for blue light sensitive layers, Bgel/junk is the gelatin-to-junk ratio for blue light sensitive layers, Rgel is the total gelatin level for red light sensitive layers, Rgel/junk is the gelatin-to-junk ratio for red light sensitive layers, Ggel is the total gelatin level for green light sensitive layers, and Ggel/junk is the gelatin-to-junk ratio for green light sensitive layers.
