Abstract:
A color negative photographic element for producing a color image suited for conversion to an electronic form and subsequent reconversion into a viewable form comprised ofa 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,WHEREINthe layer units each contain less than 0.05 millimole/m.sup.2 of colored masking coupler,the layer units each contain at least 0.8 g/m.sup.2 of silver in the form of silver halide and exhibit a dye image gamma of from 0.2 to less than 1.5 and an exposure latitude of at least 2.7 log E, where E is exposure measured in lux-seconds,development inhibitor releasing compound is present in at least one of layer units, andgreater than 50 mole percent of the development inhibitor compound in at least one of the layer units exhibits a diffusion factor of less than 0.4.
