The light-absorbing organic compound in a photosensitive layer being capable of absorbing a wavelength of light to which the photopolymerization initiator in the photosensitive layer is sensitive. Because the heat-diffusive colorant, the polymerizer and the initiator are contained in the particles, the diffusion of the heat-diffusive colorant can be effectively controlled to prevent color fog.

Abstract: A combination in a color photographic silver halide element and process of at least one red-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer comprising a particular phenolic cyan dye-forming coupler with at least one green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer comprising a particular pyrazolo[3,2-c]-s-triazole coupler and at least one blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer comprising a particular pivaloylacetanilide yellow dye-forming coupler enables improved color saturation of dye images, better relation of speed to grain characteristics and reduced unwanted spectral absorption of dye images formed. This combination is particularly useful in color photographic silver halide materials and processes for forming improved reversal dye images.

Abstract: A silver halide photographic material that has at least one silver halide emulsion layer containing a phenolic cyan coupler of the general formula (I) and an amine of the general formula (II). The maximum absorption of the dye formed in sufficiently shifted to a longer wavelength range of the spectrum to achieve satisfactory color reproduction. The dye image produced has a high maximum density and improved keeping quality.
