Abstract:
A silver halide light sensitive motion picture photographic print element comprising a support bearing on one side thereof:a primarily yellow dye image-forming unit comprising at least one blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer having associated therewith primary yellow dye-forming coupler and secondary cyan and magenta dye-forming couplers;a primarily cyan dye image-forming unit comprising at least one red-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer having associated therewith an effectively primary amount of cyan dye-forming coupler and effectively secondary amounts of magenta and yellow dye-forming couplers; anda primarily magenta dye image-forming unit comprising at least one green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer having associated therewith an effectively primary amount of magenta dye-forming coupler and effectively secondary amounts of cyan and yellow dye-forming couplers;wherein the primary and secondary dye-forming couplers in each of the dye image-forming units are present in amounts effective to obtain a ratio of Equivalent Neutral Density for the dyes formed from each of the primary dye-forming couplers to each of the secondary dye-forming couplers in each dye-image forming unit of from 20:1 to 3:2 in the print film upon exposure and processing in the standard ECP-2B motion picture color print process, such ratios measured at an exposure resulting in an Equivalent Neutral Density of 1.0 for the primary image dye color of the respective unit.
