Abstract

There is described a photographic system wherein development of an exposed photosensitive element with an aqueous alkaline processing composition is effected in the presence of a compound which is a salt of a radical of a substituted phenylmercaptoazole complexed with a radical of a quaternary. The salts are either insoluble or have extremely low solubility in water and become soluble, and photographically active, in alkaline environment.
