Abstract
A photographic element and process useful therewith comprises at least two light sensitive silver halide layers sensitized to green light and having differing degrees of light sensitivity, comprising in association with a higher sensitivity layer a yellow dye forming DIR coupler which releases a development inhibitor containing a weak inhibitor fragment, and further comprising in association with the lower sensitivity layer a cyan dye forming DIR coupler with a timing group containing a strong inhibitor fragment which releases a precursor of the development inhibitor fragment.
