Abstract:
A reversal photographic element comprising a support and, coated on said support, at least one image recording emulsion layer comprised of a dispersing medium and radiation sensitive silver salt grains, and at least one substantially non-image forming layer comprising:a) a light sensitive silver halide imaging emulsion which is less than 10 percent of the mass of the total imaging emulsion in the element;b) a first non-image forming silver salt emulsion having an average grain size less than 0.15 .mu.m; andc) a second non-image forming silver salt emulsion comprising iodide having an average grain size greater than that of the first non-image forming emulsion;wherein in the substantially non-image forming layer the surface area ratio of the grains of the non-image forming emulsions to the grains of the imaging emulsion is more than 2:1.
