Abstract: Color photographic motion picture elements adapted to form a multicolor photographic dye image and an integral, infrared-absorbing, dye sound track and comprising 1-hydroxy-2-N-(5-alkyl-thiazol-2-yl)-naphthamide couplers that are capable of forming quinone imine dyes absorbing infrared radiation in the spectral range from about 600 to about 1000 nm by reaction with an oxidized aromatic primary amino developing agent, the thiazol-2-yl group of said naphthamide couplers bearing a 4-para-C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxyphenyl group or a 4-para-C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkylphenyl group, the hydrogen atoms of said C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxy or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl being unsubstituted or at least one of them having been substituted by a halogen atom.

Abstract: Novel magenta-forming 3-anilino-2-pyrazolin-5-one color couplers for use in silver halide photography are described wherein the anilino group carries an aryloxysulphonyl group.

Abstract: Hydrophilic colloid compositions are described which may form part of a light-sensitive silver halide element, the said compositions comprising a dihalo- or trihalo-ethylcarbonate of the formula ##STR1## wherein X is halogen, X' is halogen or hydrogen and each of R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are an alkyl or aryl group, in order to inhibit growth of bacteria and fungi, to protect the hydrophilic colloid against degeneration and/or to improve the stability of dispersed photographic ingredients.

Abstract: 3-Anilino-5-pyrazolyl alkylcarbonates and arylcarbonates are described for use in silver halide color photography as color coupler precursor compounds containing no active methylene group so that they do not take part in undesirable side-reactions before color development.

Abstract: 2-Acyl-3-pyrazolin-5-one couplers are provided for use in color photography which upon color development form 2-pyrazolin-5-one couplers capable of coupling with the oxidation products of the color developing agent.

Abstract: A photographic material is described comprising novel 2-equivalent yellow forming color couplers the active methylene group of which carries a 2,6-dioxo-7-purinyl group in its oxo- or enol form.

Abstract: A method is described for preparing 4-monohalo-2-pyrazolin-5-ones wherein a tertiary organic phosphite is allowed to react with a 4,4-dihalo-2-pyrazolin-5-one and the 4-monohalopyrazole-5-enol phosphate ester formed is hydrolyzed.

Abstract: A method is described for the preparation of a 1-substituted 4-methyl-2-pyrazolin-5-one by catalytic hydrogenation under pressure and simultaneous methylation by means of paraformaldehyde of the appropriate 1-substituted 2-pyrazolin-5-one in a medium of an inert organic solvent comprising ammonium acetate.

Abstract: Novel yellow forming color couplers for use in silver halide color photography are described which correspond to the formula:R--COCHXCONH--Ar--SO.sub.2 OYwherein R represents alkyl or phenyl, X represents hydrogen or a displaceable group; Ar represents phenylene and Y represents a carbocyclic aryl group.

Abstract: Novel magenta forming colour couplers for use in silver halide colour photography are described which correspond to the formula: ##EQU1## wherein R.sub.1 represents hydrogen, alkyl or aryl; R.sub.2 represents fluoroalkyl, cyanoalkyl or phenyl; X is hydrogen or a displaceable group; Ar represents phenylene and Y represents alkyl, aryl, alkylamino, arylamino or alkylarylamino.

Abstract: Novel magenta-forming 3-anilino-2-pyrazolin-5-one colour couplers for use in silver halide photography are described wherein the anilino group carries an aryloxysulphonyl group.
