  • Patent number: 5441862
    Abstract: A color photographic recording material with at least one silver halide emulsion layer and a color coupler associated with that layer, which contains in the silver halide emulsion layer or in an adjacent non-photosensitive binder layer a combination of a color coupler and a compound corresponding to general formula (I) or (II): ##STR1## in which R.sub.4 is the residue of a polymer produced by polycondensation andR.sub.1 to R.sub.3, m and n are as defined in the specification, ##STR2## in which R.sub.4 is as defined above and L.sub.1, L.sub.2, X, R.sub.5 to R.sub.11, p, q and r are as defined in the specification,is distinguished by improved stability of the image dyes produced from yellow couplers.
