Abstract:
A color negative film comprised ofa support and, coated on the support,a blue recording emulsion layer unit capable of forming a dye image of a first hue,a green recording emulsion layer unit capable of forming a dye image of a second hue, and,located between the support and the green recording layer unit, a red recording emulsion layer unit capable of forming a dye image of a third hue,wherein,colored masking couplers are absent from the recording layer units,tabular grain silver halide emulsions sensitized to the green and red are employed in the green and red recording layer units, respectively,the tabular grain emulsions in the green recording layer unit have an average aspect ratio of less than 15, andspectral sensitizing dye in the red recording layer unit exhibits an overall half-peak absorption bandwidth of at least 50 nm bridging the green and red regions of the spectrum, with absorption at 560 nm being in the range of from 80 to 95 percent of maximum absorption, which is located in the spectral region of from 575 to 710 nm.
