Silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material

Abstract

A silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material comprising at least one light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer on a support. The silver halide emulsion layer contains tabular grains having an aspect ratio of 3 or more and 10 or more dislocation lines per grain, in an amount of 30% or more of a total projected area of all grains in the layer. At least 30 mole % of all couplers contained in the emulsion layer is occupied by a DIR coupler which releases a diffusing development inhibitor or a precursor thereof upon reaction with an oxidized form of a developing agent, or cleaves to form another compound upon reaction with an oxidized form of a developing agent, which cleaved compound in turn reacts with another molecule of oxidized form of a developing agent to release a development inhibitor.
