Filter dyes for photographic elements

A dye having the formula:

• ##STR41## wherein:
• D is selected from the group consisting of ##STR42## and ketomethylene nuclei;
• E.sup.1 and E.sup.2 are each independently electron withdrawing groups;
• R.sup.1 and R.sup.6 are each independently R or NHR, where R is aryl or substituted aryl with from 6 to 14 carbon atoms, the substituents being a halogen, alkoxy, ester, amido, acyl, alkylamino, carboxy, or sulfonamido;
• R.sup.7 is hydrogen, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl of from 1 to 6 carbon atoms or substituted or unsubstituted aryl of from 6 to 14 carbon atoms, wherein the substituents are a halogen, alkoxy, ester, amido, acyl, alkylamino, carboxy, or sulfonamido;
• R.sup.5 is substituted or unsubstituted alkyl of from 1 to 15 carbon atoms wherein the substituents are a halogen, alkoxy, ester, amido, acyl, alkylamino, carboxy, or sulfonamido;
• Z represents the atoms necessary to complete a substituted or unsubstituted thiazole, selenazole, oxazole, imidazole, indole benzothiazole, benzoselenazole, benzoxazole, benzimidazole, benzindole, naphthothiazole, naphthoselenazole, naphthoxazole, or naphthimidazole, wherein the substituents are alkyl of from 1 to 10 carbon atoms, alkoxy of from 1 to 8 carbon atoms, halogen, or aryl of 6 to 20 carbon atoms;
• M.sup.+ is a cation;
• L.sup.1 through L.sup.7 are each independently substituted or unsubstituted methine wherein the substituents are substituted or unsubstituted alkyl of from 1 to 6 carbon atoms or substituted or unsubstituted aryl of from 6 to 14 carbon atoms in which the substituents are a halogen, alkoxy, ester, amido, acyl, alkylamino, carboxy, or sulfonamido;
• m is 0, 1, 2, or 3;
• n is 0 or 1;
• q is 0, 1, 2, or 3;
• and wherein at least one of R.sup.1 or D has an aryl substituted with a carboxy or sulfonamido substituent.
