Description

8 Claims.
This invention relates to photographic emul- I sions and particularly to a method for the formation of neutral tones in such emulsions.
It is known that the developed image of finegrain emulsions is rarely neutral in color, being generally a brownish or warm tone. For many materials this is considered objectionable and the use of compounds in the developer or the emulsion to produce a neutral tone is old. Many materials, including thiohydantoin and alkylated thiohydantoins have been suggested for this purpose. These materials, however, are not always effective to produce neutral tones in emulsions.
It is, therefore, the principal object of the present invention to provide a novel method for the production-of neutral tones in photographic Application September 23, 1941, Serial No. 411,976
emulsions. A further object is to' provide a method for the production of neutral tones in line grain emulsions. A still further object is to I provide novel compounds for producing neutral tones in bromide or bromoiodide emulsions.
These objects are accomplished by i'ncorporating in the emulsion or in a photographic developer an aryl substituted thiohydantoin. These compounds are especially effective inthe case of bromide or bromoiodideemulsions whereas many of the previously used compounds are effective only-with chloride emulsions.
The aryl substituted thiohydantoins used according to our invention may be added to the developer or introduced into the emulsion before the development. The introduction of the material into the emulsion may be carried out by adding' it to the emulsion at any stage after the ripening process. Since the compounds are capable of reacting with silver salts to form silver sulfide, they should not be added to the emulsion before or during the ripening process. They may a be added to the emulsion at any subsequent stage in its manufacture such as by mixing a solution of the, agent with the emulsion before coating.
The amount of arylated thiohydantoin to be added to the emulsion may vary considerably depending upon the composition of the compound and of the emulsion and the degree to'which the tone is to be changed. The compound are preferably added to the finished emulsions in small amounts. of the order of milligrams per liter of emulsion containing 40 grams of silver bromide per liter.
Compounds suitable for use according to our invention include arylated thiohydantoins such as 1-,B-diphenyl-Z-thiohydantoin.
Our invention may be illustrated by the follow ing example: V
A gelatin silver bromide emulsion was prepared in a normal manner, as described in the literature, a non-ammonia type being used. The emulsion in which the example was obtained was a fine-grain, moderate contrast material of low speed. The 1,3-diphenyl-2-thiohydantoin was effective in emulsions of the. type described above, containing somewhat higher iodide content than is frequently used in the preparation of fine grain materials.
It will be understood that the examples included herein are illustrative only and that other compounds falling within the scope of the appended claim may be used in our process.
gelatino silver bromide emulsions which comprises ripening the emulsion and adding to it a N-diphenyl-2-thiohydantoin.

The method for producing neutral tones in sion capable of producing neutral tones on gelatino-silver halide emulsions which comprises development, containing a N-diphenyl-Z-thiohyripening-the emulsion and adding to it 1,3-didantoin added after ripening. phenyl-z-thiohydantoin. 8.
