Abstract: An aqueous, homogeneous, single-part color developing concentrate comprises a color developing agent in free base form and an organic antioxidant. The concentrate also includes a water-miscible or water-soluble organic co-solvent and a quaternary ammonium salt to enhance its stability. The concentrate can be used to make a working strength processing solution, or it can be used as a replenishing composition with proper dilution, and is particularly useful for processing color negative or color reversal photographic silver halide films.

Abstract: An aqueous, homogeneous, single-part color developing concentrate comprises a color developing agent in free base form and an N,N-dialkyl- or N,N-diarylhydroxylamine antioxidant that has at least one solubilizing substituent.

Abstract: A photographic prebleaching or conditioning composition is useful for providing color positive images in color reversal photographic materials. This composition includes at least 0.0001 mol/l of a cyclic mercapto bleach accelerating agent and at least 0.0001 mol/l of a water-soluble or water-dispersible 2,6-diarylaminotriazine or diaminostilbene dye stain reducing agent. The amounts of the dye stain reducing agent and bleach accelerating agents are determined according to the following equation: [bleach accelerating agent, mol/l]≧0.01−10[dye stain reducing agent, mol/l].

Abstract: Disclosed is a photographic element comprising a light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer having associated therewith a bicyclic azole dye-forming coupler compound having Formula I: wherein: BA represents a bicyclic azole coupler nucleus with —(C(R1)(R2))P— bonded to a ring carbon in a non-coupling position of the coupler nucleus; p is 1 or 2, and each R1 and R2 is independently selected from H and a substituent group, provided that any two of R1 and R2 may join to form a ring; Ra and Rb are each independently selected from H and a substituent group, provided that substituent groups may join to form a ring; each Y is an independently selected substituent and m is 0-4; X is selected from the group consisting of —C(O)—, —S(O)2—, —S(O)—, and —P(O)(OH)—; W is a connecting group having a chain of up to four atoms between X and Z, and n=0 or 1; and a) when n=0, Z is —NHR5 where R5 is H or a substituent, and

Abstract: A conditioning or bleach accelerating solution can be used to process color photographic films, especially color reversal films, to minimize magenta dye fade while reducing the needed amount of formaldehyde stabilizer. These advantageous effects are achieved by including a secondary amine in the solution along with a formaldehyde precursor and a bleach accelerator.

Abstract: Novel photographic filter dyes are immobile as incorporated in a photographic element, but during processing, are uniformly converted to a form which is removable from the element. 2 The filter dye is represented by the structure:DYE--LS--BALwhere:BAL is a ballast group;DYE is a filter dye moiety;LS is a splittable linking group attached to a position in DYE that is not in conjugation with the dye chromophore.

Abstract: A photographic recording material is described which comprises a leuco dye which is capable of generating a blue tone in a developed silver image.
