Photographic materials containing polysaccharides

摘要

A diffusion transfer photographic material is disclosed, which comprises a support having thereon at least a photosensitive element comprising a photosensitive silver halide emulsion and a diffusible dye donating compound, and a dye fixing element which is placed upon the said photosensitive element at the time of image transfer, wherein a natural macromolecular polysaccharide originating from red algae is included in said photosensitive element and/or in said dye fixing element, and a process of producing a diffusion transfer photographic material is disclosed, which comprises the step of using a coating liquid which contains a water soluble polymer solution comprising a natural macromolecular polysaccharide, a hydrophilic organic solvent in which the said water soluble polymer is essentially insoluble and water.
