Hybrid color photographic elements and processes for developing same

摘要

Color photographic elements containing silver halide and incorporated colored and color-forming materials are described. These elements have (a) a layer containing a yellow dye or yellow dye precursor that is bleachable by a mild silver-dye-bleach procedure and (b) at least one other layer, spectrally sensitized to green light, which contains a color-forming coupler which forms magenta dye upon reaction with oxidized color developer. Such elements, when they are processed by a process have improved graininess and yield sharper images. The novel process comprises the steps:
