Multipart photosensitive element with both fixed contrast and variable contrast part records

Abstract

A multipart photosensitive element having a predetermined saturation density including at least two partial record portions for forming a full record, each partial record portion controlling a preselected density range of the full record; all of the partial record portions combining to produce the predetermined saturation density of the full record; at least one of the partial record portions including a fixed contrast emulsion and at least one of the partial record portions including a variable contrast emulsion for varying the contrast of that partial record portion over its preselected density range, each of the variable contrast emulsions being photoresponsive in a different spectral region from the other variable contrast emulsions in the other partial record portions for independently selectively varying the contrast in each of the partial record portions including a variable contrast emulsion.
