A color negative photographic film element for producing a color image suited for conversion to an electronic form and subsequent reconversion into a viewable form: n said element comprising a support and, coated on the support, n a plurality of hydrophilic colloid layers, including radiation-sensitive silver halide emulsion layers, forming layer units for separately recording blue, green, and red exposures, each of the layer units containing dye image-forming coupler chosen to produce image dye having an absorption half-peak bandwidth lying in a different spectral region in each layer unit, WHEREIN n the element comprises a development inhibitor releasing compound in at least one layer unit, n at least one of the layer units contains two or more emulsion layers differing in sensitivity, n the layer units each exhibit a dye image gamma of less than 1.0, n the element exhibits an exposure latitude of at least 2.7 log E, where E is exposure measured in lux-seconds, and a light sensitivity of at least ISO 50, n the gamma ratio of each of the red, green and blue light recording layer units is between about 0.80 and 1.30, and n the average layer thickness is about 1.5 micrometers or less. |
