Abstract:
A color photographic element capable of producing dye images suitable for digital scanning comprised ofa support and, coated on the support, a plurality of hydrophilic colloid layers includinga blue recording emulsion lay unit capable of forming a dyea geen recording emulsion layer unit capable of fonning a dye image of a second hue, anda red recording emulsion layer unit capable of forming a dye image of a third hue and comprising an emulsion layer, which contains a silver halide emulsion spectrally sensitized with at least four sensitizing dyes,wherein,(1) the wavelength of maximum sensitivity of the red recording emulsion layer unit is between about 580 and 605 nm,(2) the wavelength of maximum sensitivity of the green recording emulsion layer unit is between about 520 and 565 nm,(3) the relative sensitivity of the green recording emulsion layer unit at 50% of the maximum sensitivity exhibits an overall breadth of at least about 65 nm, and(4) the relative sensitivity of the green recording emulsion layer unit at 520 nm is at least 60% of the maximum,with the proviso that magenta colored filter materials are absent from the red recording emulsion layer unit.
