Color negative film element and process for developing

A color photographic element suited for preloading in a one-time-use camera and for producing a color image suited for conversion to an electronic form and subsequent reconversion into a viewable form,

• said element comprising a support and, coated on the support,
• a plurality of hydrophilic colloid layers, including radiation-sensitive silver halide emulsion layers, forming layer units for separately recording blue, green and red exposures,
• each of the layer units containing dye image-forming coupler chosen to produce image dye having an absorption half-peak bandwidth lying in a different spectral region in each layer unit,
• WHEREIN
• at least one of the layer units contains two or more emulsion layers differing in sensitivity,
• the layer units each comprises less than 0.02 millimole/m2 of colored masking coupler,
• the layer units each exhibits a dye image gamma of less than 0.5,
• the element exhibits an exposure latitude of at least 2.7 log E, where E is exposure measured in lux-seconds, and a light sensitivity of at least ISO 50, and
• the gamma ratio of each of the red, green and blue light recording layer units is between 0.80 and 1.20 20 wherein said support defines two faces and all the sensitized layers are supplied on a common face of said support and the total thickness of the layers on the sensitized layer bearing face of said support is between 5 and 30 μm.
