Abstract
Method for making images by image-wise exposing a silver halide emulsion layer, developing it with an alkaline processing solution in the presence of a silver halide solvent, development nuclei, and a density- and tone-controlling compound, transferring silver complexes from the emulsion layer to a non-light-sensitive image-receiving layer and forming an image therein, said density- and tone-controlling compound being contained in said image-receiving layer and/or in said processing solution and corresponding to the general formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, and R.sup.3 (same or different) represent hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 alkyl, or Alk.sub.1 --X--Alk.sub.2 --Y--; Alk.sub.1 is (substituted) C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 alkyl; X is --O-- or --S--; Alk.sub.2 is (substituted) C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 alkylene; Y is a single bond, --O--, --S--, --CONH--, --SO.sub.2 NH--, or --NHCONH--; R.sup.3 can alternatively represent (substituted) C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 alkylthio; at least one of R.sup.1, R.sup.2, and R.sup.3 being other than hydrogen and other than C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 alkyl. The invention also provides an image-receiving layer and/or a processing solution incorporating such density- and tone-contr…
