Photographic light-sensitive materials having improved film physical properties

A silver halide photographic light-sensitive element exhibiting good transparency after development comprising at least one silver halide emulsion layer on a support and two or more hydrophilic colloid layers on at least one side of said support, wherein (i) a hydrophilic colloid layer positioned farther from the support contains gelatin, a matting agent having an average particle size of 1 to 5.mu. and colloidal silica having an average particle size less than that of the matting agent and (ii) a hydrophilic colloid layer which is positioned nearer the support than the position of hydrophilic colloid layer (i) consists essentially of gelatin and a polymer latex comprising an aqueous dispersion of a water-insoluble polymer wherein the polymer has an average particle size of about 20 m.mu. to about 200 m.mu., said matting agent being present in an amount effective to decrease the adhesion of the hydrophilic colloid layer in which it is present, said collidal silica being present in an amount effective to improve the antiadhesive property of the hydrophilic layer in which it is present and said polymer latex being present in an amount effective to improve dimensional stability, gelatin present in the element layers serving as a hydrophilic binder.
