Photographic systems for forming images by diffusion transfer wherein an aqueous processing composition including a reflecting agent, e.g., a white pigment, is applied between an exposed photosensitive component or element including at least one lightsensitive layer and an image-receiving component to develop the exposed photosensitive component and, as a function of development, to form a transfer image on the image-receiving component which, due to the presence of the thus applied reflecting agent, is viewable without separation as a reflection print, the essence of the invention being ''''encapsulating'''' the reflecting agent in a polymeric ''''skin'''' or wall to obtain stated beneficial results; and aqueous compositions including such encapsulated reflecting agents. |
