  • Patent number: 6689552
    Abstract: A color photographic silver halide material which can be developed to form a negative, at least 95 mol % of the silver halides of which consist of AgCl, and which contains at least one light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, the silver halide of which contains at least one compound of formulae (I), (II) and (III): [IrClnF6-n]2−M2+  (I) wherein n denotes 0 or an integer from 1 to 6 and M2+ denotes 1 or 2 cations with a total number of 2 positive charges, [Fe(CN)6]m−Mm+  (II) wherein m denotes 2 or 3 and Mm+ denotes 1 to 3 cations with a total number of m positive charges, wherein o denotes 0, 1 or 2 and R denotes an alkyl, aryl or aralkyl, is distinguished under scanning exposure and on analogue exposure by sharp contrast which is independent of exposure time and by a stable latent image.

  • Patent number: 6063557
    Abstract: A color photographic silver halide material in which at least one of the blue-sensitive silver halide emulsions is doped with mercury and is spectrally sensitised with a sensitising dye of formula (I) ##STR1## wherein X.sub.1 and X.sub.2, independently of each other, denote O, S, Se, NR,R denotes alkyl or carboxyalkyl,R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 or R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 denote the remaining members for the completion of a phenanthro- or anthraazole ring, and the remaining R.sub.1 or R.sub.3 radical denotes a hydrogen atom,R.sub.4 and R.sub.5, independently of each other, denote a hydrogen atom, alkyl or aryl, orR.sub.4 and R.sub.5 jointly denote the remaining members of an unsubstituted or substituted benzazole, naphthazole, phenanthro- or anthraazole,S.sub.1 and S.sub.2, independently of each other, denote alkyl, sulphoallyl or carboxyalkyl, andM.sup.+ denotes a cation which is possibly necessary for charge equalisation,is distinguished by an improved latent image stability.
