Abstract
The present invention provides a method of hardening a proteinaceous surface layer of a photographic silver halide element by incorporating a dextran derivative in said proteinaceous surface layer, said dextran derivative being the reaction product of dextran and an epihalohydrin. The invention also provides a photographic element comprising at least one silver halide emulsion layer and at least one proteinaceous surface layer comprising the reaction product of dextran and an epihalohydrin.
