Abstract: A silver halide having at least two halides of differing atomic numbers may successfully be produced with a more uniform halide distribution within certain zones or throughout the entire volume of the individual grain and from grain to grain, if a portion or the entire quantity of the halide of the higher atomic number is dissolved in an aqueous silver salt solution and the resulting solution is introduced at any stage into the emulsion preparation process.

Abstract: Emulsions having an improved sensitivity/grain ratio are obtained when a silver halide emulsion containing up to 20 mol % of AgI is prepared by the precipitation of a silver halide emulsion A containing up to 100 mol % of AgI and the addition of a silver halide emulsion B which contains up to 40 mol % of AgI, has an average grain size of at most 0.25 .mu.m and is always more soluble in aqueous gelatine solution than emulsion A either due to its grain size or due to its iodide content, this being carried out in the presence of at least two compounds selected from imidazole, histidine (.alpha.-amino-.beta.

Abstract: Photographic recording materials containing a silver halide emulsion in which the grains have zones of differing iodide content provide improved sensitometric results.
