Photographic imaging element with reduced fringing

A method of processing an exposed multilayer photographic element comprising color developing said exposed multilayer photographic element, wherein said color developing is for less than 30 seconds, and wherein said multilayer photographic element comprises a reflective support and at least three color records comprising at least three light sensitive layers and at least two interlayers, wherein:

• a) said at least three light sensitive layers include at least one cyan, magenta, or yellow dye-forming coupler;
• b) said at least three light sensitive layers include silver halide grains comprising greater than 90% silver chloride;
• c) one or more scavengers are included in said at least two interlayers;
• d) the ratio of the total level of scavenger to the total level of coupler in the multilayer photographic element is from 0.15 to 0.50;
• e) the ratio of the total level of scavenger to the total level of silver in the multilayer photographic element is from 0.05 to 0.15;
• and
• f) the reciprocity characteristics of said silver halide grains of at least two color records of said at least three color records are such that for a separation exposure of 1 microsecond and 0.4 seconds, upon development, the difference in maximum density is 10% or less.
