Photographic silver halide material with matte support

A photographic silver halide material comprising a polyester support and having on at least one side thereof, one or more silver halide emulsion layers, and disposed between said polyester support and said one or more silver halide emulsion layers, a first light insensitive adhesion-promoting layer comprising a polymeric matting agent having a average particle size of from about 1.2 to about 3 μm and a glass transition temperature of at least 135° C., and

• disposed between said first light insensitive adhesion-promoting layer and said polyester support, a polymeric latex subbing layer,
• said polymeric matting agent is composed of a polymer represented by the following Structure I:
• wherein A represents recurring units derived from one or more polyfunctional ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable acrylates or methacrylates, and B represents recurring units derived from one or more monofunctional ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable acrylates or methacrylates, x is from about 10 to 30 weight %, and y is from about 70 to about 90 weight %.

A method of providing an image comprising processing an imagewise exposed photographic silver halide material using one or more aqueous photographic processing compositions,

• said photographic silver halide material comprising a polymeric support and having on at least one side thereof, one or more silver halide emulsion layers, and disposed between said polymeric support and said one or more silver halide emulsion layers, a light insensitive adhesion-promoting layer comprising a polymeric matting agent having an average particle size of at least 1 μm and up to about 10 μm and a glass transition temperature of at least 120° C.
