Patent ID: 6929906

Claim:
A silver halide color photosensitive material comprising at least one light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer and at least one nonlight-sensitive layer, wherein at least one of the nonlight-sensitive layers contains colloidal silver; the colloidal silver-containing nonlight-sensitive layer or a nonlight-sensitive layer adjacent to the colloidal silver-containing nonlight-sensitive layer contains a compound capable of releasing a development inhibitor or a precursor thereof by a coupling reaction with an oxidized developing agent; and at least one layer selected from the group consisting of the light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer and the nonlight-sensitive layer contains a compound (B) defined below: compound (B): a compound having at least three hetero atoms and capable of enhancing the photographic speed of the photosensitive material in comparison to the same photosensitive materials without the compound.
