TITLE PD-2283 PROCESS FOR PREPARING A PHOTOGRAPHIC EMULSION CONTAINING TABULAR GRAINS HAVING NARROW SIZE DISTRIBUTION Process for preparing a photographic emulsion containing tabular silver halide grains which have narrow size distribution comprising: A. adding silver nitrate to a vessel containing dispersing medium/bromide mixture, initial bromide ion concentration is 0.08 to 0.25 N to form tabular seed grains; B. adding a basic silver halide solvent e.g., ammonia, ammoniacal solution, etc. to achieve 0.02 N to 0.2 N of the solvent (e.g., after at least 2% by weight of total silver nitrate hag been added); C. stopping silver nitrate addition for 0.5 to 60 minutes, e.g., bromide ion concentration is in the range of 0.005 to 0.05 N; D. neutralizing at least some of the basic silver halide solvent present; and E. adding additional silver nitrate and halide, i.e., Br- and BrI-, by balanced double jet procedure. The emulsions are used in photographic elements for x-ray, graphic arts, etc. 4357k |
