SOLUTION FOR PROCESSING HIGH SPEED VIDEO NEWS FILM INCLUDING A COMPETING COUPLER, ETHYLENE DIAMINE, T- BUTYL AMINE BORANE AND A COMPETING NON-COUPLING DEVELOPER

摘要

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSUREA high speed color reversal cine film with latent ima-ges recorded thereon is so processed as to color-develop the lat-ent images and concurrently reduce the high contrast at the darkend of the tone scale which is inherent in the prior art develop-ment of such film. The new method utilizes in the color develop-er bath increased amounts (in comparison with prior art colordeveloper baths) of a competing coupler such as citrazinic acidand of a silver halide solvent such as ethylene diamine and re-duces the amount of a reversal agent such as t-butylamine borane,and also includes a competing non-coupling developer such as 4-hydroxymethyl-4-methyl-1-phenyl-3-pyrazolidone, or phenidone, ora derivative thereof.
