| abstract |
A monobath composition for the combined developing and fixing of silver halide photographic emulsions comprises four developing agents, one each selected from the following classes - (a) 3pyrazolidones; (b) aminophenols; (c) dihydroxybenzenes; and (d) enediols - and a silver halide solvent. By varying the monobath temperature and the extent of agitation, the composition, without reformulation, is effective in producing satisfactory images with all film emulsions without film speed loss. |
