Abstract: A heat bleachable material comprises (i) at least one hexaarylbiimidazole with (ii) at least one dye, especially an antihalation or filter dye, that is reactive with the product of the hexaarylbiimidazole formed upon heating the material to a temperature above about 90.degree. C. This provides a material that becomes at least 40% colorless within about 20 minutes, typically within about 30 seconds, upon heating to a temperature as described. The dye-containing material is especially useful for antihalation and filter purposes in a photographic element. The material can be a heat bleachable dye layer of a photothermographic element. The heat bleachable dye layer can also be useful in a thermographic element.

Abstract: Photographic elements, processes for forming images in photographic elements and new compounds are disclosed. Generally, the invention relates to immobile compounds which can be used to provide positive images from negative recording-developing photographic materials such as negative silver halide emulsions. The compounds contain a photographically useful group such as a dye or dye precursor and are capable of releasing said photographically useful group under alkaline conditions, and are also capable of reaction with an oxidized silver halide developing agent before substantial release of said photographically useful group occurs, to provide a reaction product having a substantially lower rate of release of said photograhically useful group.

Abstract: Dry silver photo-sensitive compositions comprising an intimate mixture of a substantially light-insensitive silver compound which upon reduction gives a visible change and sufficient of a silver halide to catalyse said reduction to give a visible change in those areas where the silver halide has been exposed to light and when the mixture is heated in the presence of a reducing agent, and as a yellow acutance dye a 1-alkyl-4-nitro-methylene-quinolane, the alkyl substituent containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms.

Abstract: A light-sensitive silver halide photographic material comprising a support having thereon at least one light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, with the silver halide photographic material containing at least one compound represented by the following general formula (I): ##STR1## wherein Z represents the atoms necessary to complete an oxazolidine ring, a pyrrolidine ring or a thiazolidine ring; R.sup.1 and R.sup.2, which may be the same or different, each represents an alkyl group or an aryl group; R.sup.3 represents a --COR.sup.4 group or a --CO.sub.2 R.sup.5 group; R.sup.4 represents an alkyl group or an aryl group; R.sup.5 represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group or an aryl group; and n is 1 or 2, and when n is 2, at least one of R.sup.1, R.sup.4 and R.sup.

Abstract: Pyrylium, thiapyrylium and selenapyrylium salts and derivatives thereof having a trimethine linkage containing an aryl substituent attached to at least one carbon atom of the trimethine linkage are disclosed. Radiation sensitive compositions, e.g., photoconductive compositions, containing such materials are also disclosed.
