Photographic elements for producing blue, green and red exposure records of the same hue

A silver halide photographic element capable of being scanned for image information following imagewise exposure and photographic development and fixing comprised of

• a support and, coated on the support,
• a sequence of superimposed blue, green and red recording silver halide emulsion layer units that produce images of the same hue upon processing, one of the emulsion layer units forming a first emulsion layer unit in the sequence coated nearest the support, another of the emulsion layer units forming a last emulsion layer unit in the sequence coated farthest from the support, and one other of the emulsion layer units forming an intermediate emulsion layer unit located between the first and last emulsion layer units, and
• a first interlayer unit coated between the first emulsion layer unit and the intermediate emulsion layer unit capable of transmitting to the first emulsion layer unit electromagnetic radiation this emulsion layer unit is provided to record and a second interlayer unit coated between the intermediate emulsion layer unit and the last emulsion layer unit capable of transmitting to the first and intermediate emulsion layer units electromagnetic radiation these emulsion layer units are provided to record,
• one of the interlayer units including means for reflecting in a scanning wavelength region following photographic development and fixing and the remaining interlayer unit including means for reflecting or absorbing in a scanning wavelength region following photographic development and fixing.

A silver halide photographic element capable of being scanned for image information following imagewise exposure and photographic development and fixing comprised of

• a support and, coated on the support,
• a sequence of blue, green and red recording silver bromoiodide emulsion layer units at least two of which are capable of producing images of the same hue after processing,
• the red recording silver bromoiodide emulsion layer unit being coated nearer to the support than the remaining emulsion layer units,
• a first interlayer unit coated over the red recording emulsion layer unit comprised of means for transmitting specular light to the red recording emulsion layer unit during imagewise exposure and, after photographic development and fixing, reflecting light in a scanning wavelength region,
• the green recording silver bromoiodide emulsion layer unit being coated over the first interlayer unit,
• a second interlayer unit coated over the green recording emulsion layer unit comprised of means for transmitting specular light to the green and red recording emulsion layer units during imagewise exposure and absorbing or reflecting blue light during imagewise exposure and after photographic development and fixing, and
• the blue recording silver bromoiodide emulsion layer unit being coated over the second interlayer unit.

• a sequence of blue, green and red recording silver halide emulsion layer units at least two of which are capable of producing images of the same hue after processing,
• the blue recording emulsion layer unit containing at least one blue sensitized silver halide emulsion coated nearer to the support that any remaining silver halide emulsion layer unit,
• a first interlayer unit coated over the blue recording emulsion layer unit comprised of means for transmitting specular light to the blue recording emulsion layer unit during imagewise exposure and, after photographic development and fixing, reflecting light in a scanning wavelength region,
• the red recording emulsion layer unit containing at least one red sensitized silver halide emulsion chosen to exhibit minimal sensitivity to the blue region of the spectrum coated over the first interlayer unit,
• a second interlayer unit coated over the red recording emulsion layer unit comprised of means for transmitting specular light to the blue and red recording emulsion layer units during imagewise exposure and, after photographic development and fixing, absorbing or reflecting light in a scanning wavelength region, and
• the green recording emulsion layer unit containing at least one green sensitized silver halide emulsion chosen to exhibit minimal sensitivity to the blue region of the spectrum coated over the second interlayer unit.
