Abstract: The invention provides a method of nucleating silver halide particles wherein said nucleation is carried out in the presence of acid processed ossein (APO) gelatin or chain-extended acid processed ossein (CE-APO) gelatin and the composition formed therefrom.

Abstract: A photographic element capable of forming a reversal image is disclosed having an emulsion layer containing a blend of spectrally sensitized tabular iodohalide grains and a second, slower fine grain population of a higher overall solubility silver salt content for increasing speed and contrast. A second dye is adsorbed to the surface of the second grain population to provide a further increase in threshold speed.

Abstract: A multicolor photographic element capable of forming a viewable reversal dye image is disclosed comprising a support and, coated on the support, a blue recording yellow dye image forming layer unit, a green recording magenta dye image forming layer unit, and a red recording cyan dye image forming layer unit, each of the layer units containing in at least one layer a silver halide emulsion having a grain halide content of from 0 to 5 mole percent chloride, from. 0.5 to 20 mole percent iodide, and from 80 to 99.5 mole percent bromide, based on total silver.The photographic element is characterized in that at least one of the silver halide emulsion layers is a tabular grain emulsion layer in which the coefficient of variation of the tabular grain emulsion is less than 15 percent, based on the total grain population of the emulsion, and the total grain population of the tabular emulsion consists essentially of tabular grains having a mean thickness of less than 0.3 .mu.m and a mean tabularity of greater than 25.

Abstract: A multicolor photographic element capable of forming a viewable reversal dye image is disclosed comprising a support and, coated on the support, a blue recording yellow dye image forming layer unit, a green recording magenta dye image forming layer unit, and a red recording cyan dye image forming layer unit, each of the dye image forming layer units containing at least one silver halide emulsion layer comprised of a vehicle and silver halide grains having (1) a halide content of from 0 to 5 mole percent chloride, from 0.1 to 20 mole percent iodide, and from 80 to 99.9 mole percent bromide, based on total silver. At least one of the silver halide emulsion layers in one of the layer units positioned to receive exposing radiation prior to at least one of the green or red recording layer units is a tabular grain emulsion layer in which a polyalkylene oxide block copolymer is present selected to allow the preparation of tabular grains having a mean thickness of less than 0.3 .mu.
