Silver halide color light-sensitive material

Abstract

A silver halide color light-sensitive material contains at least one light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer and at least one non-light-sensitive layer on a support, wherein at least one of the non-light-sensitive layers contains a silver halide emulsion having a previously fogged surface, and the non-light-sensitive layer containing the previously fogged emulsion and/or its adjacent layer contains a compound capable of releasing a photographically useful group or its precursor by a coupling reaction with the oxidized form of a developing agent, wherein the previously fogged emulsion is developed during color development to evenly form the oxidized form of a color developing agent, and the photographically useful group or its precursor is released non-imagewise by the coupling reaction.
