Patent ID: 7914977

Claim:
A silver halide color photosensitive material, which is for use as a silver halide color printing photosensitive material, comprising, on a transparent support, at least one yellow-color-forming photosensitive silver halide emulsion layer, at least one cyan-color-forming photosensitive silver halide emulsion layer, at least one magenta-color-forming photosensitive silver halide emulsion layer, in order of mention from the support, and at least one non-photosensitive hydrophilic colloid layer, wherein the silver halide color photosensitive material contains a compound capable of forming a dye having absorption in the infrared region, upon reaction with an oxidized product of a developing agent, in one of the yellow-, cyan-, and magenta-color-forming photosensitive silver halide emulsion layers, or in a photosensitive silver halide emulsion layer having a color-sensitive region different from those of the yellow-, cyan-, and magenta-color-forming photosensitive silver halide emulsion layers, wherein silver halide grains in the silver halide emulsion layer containing the compound capable of forming a dye having absorption in the infrared region, upon reaction with an oxidized product of a developing agent, have a cubic form, and wherein CTF of an infrared-absorbing-dye image formed, which is denoted by CI, and CTF of a cyan dye image formed from the cyan-color-forming photosensitive silver halide emulsion layer, which is denoted by CC, satisfy a relationship expressed by the following formula (1) in a spatial frequency range of 2 c/mm to 20 c/mm: 0.95 <CI/CC< 1.05. formula (1)
