Photographic element containing a certain sulfonated acylacetanilide coupler in combination with a development inhibitor releasing coupler.

摘要

The present invention provides a photographic element comprising a support bearing a blue-light sensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing an acylacetanilide yellow image dye-forming coupler having formula I or II: wherein: Ra is a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl groups, alkoxy group or aryloxy group; Rb is a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl or aryl group; Rc is hydrogen or a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group; R1 is a substituent; n is an integer from 0 to 2; R2 is selected from the group consisting of halogen, trifluoromethyl, and substituted or unsubstituted alkoxy and aryloxy; R3 is substituted or unsubstituted alkyl; R4 is hydrogen, halogen, alkoxy carbonyl (-CO2R), carbamoyl (-CONRR'), carbonamido (-NRCOR'), sulfonamido (-NRSO2R') or trifluoromethyl; and X is hydrogen or a coupling-off group; and wherein the blue-light sensitive silver halide emulsion layer has associated therewith a development inhibitor releasing coupler. The invention also provides a method of forming an image in such an element.
