ABSTRACT:
Silver halide light sensitive photographic print elements are disclosed comprising a support bearing on one side thereof: a blue color sensitive record comprising at least one blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion yellow-image forming layer, a red color sensitive record comprising at least one red-sensitive silver halide emulsion cyan-image forming layer, and a green color sensitive record comprising at least one green-sensitive silver halide emulsion magenta-image forming layer; wherein at least one of the color records has a fixed best fit contrast less than or equal to 2.2, wherein the fixed best fit contrast for a color record is defined as the slope of a straight line connecting a point B and a point C on the characteristic curve of Status A density versus log Exposure for the color record, where points B and C are located by defining a point A on the characteristic curve at the log Exposure required to attain a density level of 1.0, and points B and C are located on the characteristic curve at exposure values -0.40 log Exposure and +0.65 log Exposure with respect to point A, respectively. In preferred embodiments, the fixed best fit contrast (FBFC) values of at least two color records and most preferably of each of the blue, red, and green color records are less than 2.2. Such FBFC values are below the typical contrast limitations of conventional color print films designed for direct projection viewing, and enable the production of especially pleasing images in telecine transfers compared to print elements with higher FBFC values.
