Abstract: The present invention relates a process for crosslinking hydrophilic colloids, especially gelatine. The colloid is crosslinked with a water-soluble organic crosslinking agent which is allowed to act in a system consisting of at least two colloid layers. At least one layer contains the crosslinking agent and at least one layer which is free from crosslinking agents contains an aprotic solvent.
