Abstract: A spectrally sensitized photographic silver halide emulsion, characterized in that after precipitation at least one compound of formula is added to the emulsion, wherein R1 denotes alkyl, aryl, aralkyl, alkenyl or heterocyclyl; R2 denotes H, alkyl, aryl, heterocyclyl, amino or alkoxy; R3 denotes H, alkyl, aryl, aralkyl or heterocyclyl; D denotes —OH or —NR4R5; X denotes O or N—R6; R4 denotes H, alkyl, aryl, aralkyl, alkenyl or heterocyclyl; R5: denotes H, alkyl, aryl, aralkyl, alkenyl or heterocyclyl; R6: denotes H, alkyl, aryl, aralkyl, alkenyl, acyl, alkoxycarbonyl, carbamoyl or heterocyclyl, the aforementioned alkyl, aryl, aralkyl, alkenyl, heterocyclyl, amino, alkoxy, acyl, alkoxycarbonyl and carbamoyl groups can be substituted, and any two of the radicals R1 to R6 can together form a heterocyclic ring, such as a pyrrolidine, piperidine, perhydroazepine, piperazine, morpholine or thiomorpholine ring, for example; as well as a photographic material comprising a

Abstract: The production of tabular silver bromide-iodide emulsions and silver bromide-chloride-iodide emulsions with an aspect ratio 32, an iodide content from 1 to 40 mol % and a chloride content from 0 to 20 mol %, by the process steps of (a) silver halide nucleus precipitation, and (b) at least one further precipitation of silver halide, wherein rein at least one aromatic five- or six-membered, heterocyclic compound, which is free from—SH—,—SSO2H— and—SSO2R groups, is added in an amount from 10−9 to 10−4 mol/mol silver during nucleus precipitation or during the precipitation of an inner zone of the silver halide grain which is different from the nucleus precipitate, results in an improved speed/grain size ratio and in an increased stability of a photographic material which contains an emulsion produced in this manner.

Abstract: A color photographic recording material having a film support and, arranged thereon, at least one red-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing a cyan coupler, at least one green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing a magenta coupler, at least one blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing a yellow coupler and optionally further non-photosensitive layers contains, in addition to conventional sensitizing dyes, in at least one of the red-sensitive silver halide emulsion layers thereof and in at least one of the green-sensitive emulsion layers thereof at least one cyanine dye in each layer having an absorption maximum in a methanolic solution in the range from 515 to 550 nm, wherein the absorption maxima of the additional cyanine dye in the red-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer and of the additional cyanine dye in the green-sensitive layer, in each case measured in a methanolic solution, are no more than 10 nm and preferably no more than 5 nm apart.
