Patent ID: 7244550

Claim:
A silver halide color photographic photosensitive material having, on a support, at least one layer of a blue sensitive emulsion layer unit containing a yellow color forming coupler, a green sensitive emulsion layer unit containing a magenta color forming coupler, and a red sensitive emulsion layer unit containing a cyan color coupler, wherein 70% or more of the total projected area of the entire silver halide grains of at least one kind of silver halide emulsion in at least one silver halide photographic emulsion layer is made of silver halide containing silver halide grains satisfying the following (a) to (c), and the photosensitive material contains at least one inter-image effect providing layer: (a) the material comprises a tabular silver halide host grain with an aspect ratio of 5 or more having two principal surfaces parallel with each other and a protrusion portion of silver halide epitaxially joined onto the surface of the tabular silver halide host grain, (b) the silver bromide content is 70 mole % or more both for the tabular silver halide host grain and the protrusion portion, and (c) the ratio of the silver amount of the protrusion portion to the silver amount of the tabular silver halide host grain is 12% or less.
