Photographic silver halide element and process

A process as in claim wherein the pyrazolone photographic coupler is represented by the formula:

• ##STR57## wherein:
• R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 individually are selected from the group consisting of halogen, R.sub.2, and Z.sub.1 R.sub.b ;
• Z.sub.1 is O, S or NR.sub.c ;
• R.sub.2 is an unsubstituted or substituted alkyl, aryl, or heterocyclic group;
• R.sub.5 is hydrogen, halogen, R.sub.2 or Z.sub.1 R.sub.b ;
• R.sub.6 is hydrogen or an unsubstituted or substituted alkyl, aryl or heterocyclic group;
• R.sub.7 is an anilino, acylamino, ureido, carbamoyl, alkoxy, aryloxycarbonyl, alkoxycarbonyl, or N-heterocyclic group;
• R.sub.8 is unsubstituted or substituted aryl;
• and,
• R.sub.b is an unsubstituted or substituted alkyl, aryl or heterocyclic group and when Z.sub.1 is O then R.sub.b is other than substituted phenyl;
• R.sub.c is an unsubstituted or substituted alkyl, aryl or heterocyclic group;
• and
• X represents atoms selected from the group consisting of carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur atoms necessary to complete a 5-, 6-, or 7-member unsubstituted or substituted unsaturated ring.

• wherein the magneta dye image-forming coupler is represented by the formula:
• ##STR59## wherein:
• R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 individually are selected from the group consisting of halogen, R.sub.2, and Z.sub.1 R.sub.b ;
• Z.sub.1 is O, S or NR.sub.c ;
• R.sub.2 is an unsubstituted or substituted alkyl, aryl, or heterocyclic group;
• R.sub.5 is hydrogen, halogen, R.sub.2 or Z.sub.1 R.sub.b ;
• R.sub.6 is hydrogen or an unsubstituted or substituted alkyl, aryl or heterocyclic group;
• R.sub.7 is an anilino, acylamino, ureido, carbamoyl, alkoxy, aryloxycarbonyl, alkoxycarbonyl, or N-heterocyclic group;
• R.sub.8 is unsubstituted or substituted aryl;
• and,
• R.sub.8 is an unsubstituted or substituted alkyl, aryl or heterocyclic group, and when Z.sub.1 is O then R.sub.b is other than substituted phenyl;
• R.sub.c is an unsubstituted or substituted alkyl, aryl or heterocyclic group;
• and
• X represents atoms selected from the group consisting of carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur atoms necessary to complete a 5-, 6-, or 7-member unsubstituted or substituted ring.
