A photographic material comprising a support having thereon at least three differently spectrally sensitive silver halide emulsion layers that are each sensitive to light of a different additive primary colour, and associated with each such silver halide emulsion layer a silver-precipitating layer containing development nuclei and a different dye- or dye precursor-releasing compound for producing a subtractive multi-colour image, wherein (1) each of the silver halide emulsion layers is on one side contiguous to its associated silver-precipitating layer but on its opposite side is not contiguous to another such silver precipitating layer, (2) two of said differently spectrally sensitive silver halide emulsion layers are arranged in contiguous relationship or are arranged with an interlayer in between them which is penetrable by diffusing silver complexes, and two of said silver-precipitating layers containing different dye-releasing compounds are arranged in contiguous relationship or are arranged with a non-light-sensitive, non-dye-releasing water-permeable hydrophilic colloid interlayer in between them, and (3) each of the silver halide emulsion layers contains a diffusion-resistant silver halide developing agent.
