Abstract
A photographic recording material is disclosed which is capable of providing improved granularity properties without sacrifice in other desirable photographic properties. The recording material comprises an image dye-forming coupler compound, a development inhibitor releasing compound, a compound capable of imagewise release of a soluble mercaptan compound and a compound capable of imagewise release of an electron transfer agent.
Claims29
