  • Patent number: 4357280
    Abstract: A method of processing photographic silver dye bleach materials which have been exposed imagewise is provided. The process steps are (1) silver developing, (2) dye bleaching, (3) silver bleaching and (4) fixing. The treatment baths for the process steps (2), (3) and (4), or the combined treatment baths useful for process step (3) with at least one the process steps (2) or (4) contain water-soluble tertiary phosphines as silver ligands. These phosphines effect an acceleration of the dye and silver bleaching and they are further suitable stabilizers and optionally antioxidants which yield stable treatment baths.

  • Patent number: 4304846
    Abstract: A method for processing exposed silver dye-bleach materials using novel preparations for combined dye bleaching and silver bleaching is described. In addition to a strong acid, a water-soluble iodide, a water-soluble oxidizing agent, an antioxidant and, if desired, a bleaching accelerator, these preparations also contain a mixture of 1,4- or 1,2-diazines as bleach catalysts. This mixture consists either of at least two bleach catalysts with redox potentials between +105 mV and -30 mV, the difference between the redox potentials of the catalysts being at least 15 mV, or of at least one bleach catalyst with a redox potential between +60 mV and -30 mV and at least one bleach catalyst with a redox potential between -30 mV and -100 mV, the difference between the redox potentials of the catalysts likewise being at least 15 mV.When exposed dye-bleach materials are processed using these preparations, images with improved color quality are obtained.
