Abstract: Thermally processable imaging elements in which the image is formed by imagewise heating or by imagewise exposure to light followed by uniform heating are provided with an electroconductive overcoat layer or an electroconductive backing layer or both an electroconductive overcoat layer and an electroconductive backing layer. Such electroconductive layers are comprised of electrically-conductive metal-containing particles dispersed in a polymeric binder in an amount sufficient to provide a surface resistivity of less than 5.times.10.sup.11 ohms/square.

Abstract: A photographic element comprising a polyester support and at least one light-sensitive layer on one side of the polyester support, an antistatic layer on the other side of the support, the antistatic layer including a conductive metal oxide in a hydrophilic binder, the antistatic layer being overcoated with a layer containing a cellulose ester binder, and a solvent cast subbing layer disposed between the antistatic layer and the polyester support.

Abstract: A photographic element comprising a support having provided thereon a light-sensitive layer and a transparent magnetic recording layer, the magnetic recording layer comprising a transparent polymeric binder, ferro-magnetic particles and abrasive particles, the magnetic particles having a surface area greater than 30 m.sup.2 /gm and a coverage of from about 1.times.10.sup.-11 mg/.mu.m.sup.3 to about 1.times.10.sup.-10 mg/.mu.m.sup.3, the abrasive particles having a median diameter of from about 0.2 to about 0.4 .mu.m, specific surface area greater than 5 m.sup.2 /gm, a Mohs hardness of at least 6 and being present in the transparent magnetic layer in an amount of at least about 30% by weight based on the weight of the magnetic particles present.
