METHOD FOR PROCESSING DIRECT-POSITIVE, HIGH-CONTRAST PHOTOGRAPHIC ELEMENTS

摘要

Processing exposed, direct-positive, high-contrast photographic elements with a polyhydroxybenzene developing agent wherein the silver halide emulsion of the element contains silver halide grains comprising internal centers which promote the deposition of photolytic silver and an outer region comprising a fogged silver halide that develops to silver without exposure. Certain halogen-conducting compounds and electron-accepting compounds can also be added to the element to increase speed.
