Reversal photographic element comprising an imaging layer containing imaging and non-image forming emulsions

A reversal photographic element comprising a support and, coated on said support, a red light recording cyan dye image forming layer unit, a green light recording magenta dye image forming layer unit, and a blue light recording yellow dye image forming layer unit, each image forming layer unit comprising at least one radiation sensitive silver halide image recording emulsion layer, wherein at least one image recording emulsion layer of at least one image forming layer unit is comprised of:

• a) a light sensitive silver halide imaging emulsion;
• and
• b) a non-image forming silver halide emulsion having an average grain size less than 0.3 μm and which comprises at least 13 percent of the total silver in the image recording layer, wherein the non-image forming silver halide emulsion comprises at least 1 mole percent iodide, and the iodide mole percentage of the non-image forming silver halide emulsion is equal to or higher than that of the imaging emulsion.
