SILVER HALIDE COLOR PHOTOGRAPHY SENSITIVE MATERIAL

摘要

A silver halide color photography sensitive material, characterized in that when a wedged image containing a minimum density (unexposed part) and a maximum density is formed by the exposure via an optical wedge for an exposure time of 1 X 10<-6> sec, followed by color development and a characteristic curve of density (D) - Log E (exposure) is prepared from the wedged image, at least a magenta coloring density in the characteristic curve satisfies the requirement of the following formula [1]: formula [1] 2.3 <= gammaa <= 3.8 wherein gammaa represents a gradient of a straight line joining a point for an exposure required for achieving a density of +0.25 from the minimum density and a point for an exposure required for achieving a density of +0.75 from the minimum density. The silver halide color photography sensitive material is excellent in letter reproducibility even in the observation under various lighting conditions and exhibits satisfactory gradation reproducibility.
