Abstract

An improved process is disclosed of preparing a high chloride tabular grain emulsion. The concentration of thiocyanate ion in the dispersing medium at nucleation and during grain growth is relied upon a favor the formation of {111} crystal faces. The concentration of chloride ion in the thiocyanate ion containing dispersing medium is relied upon to produce the grain twinning necessary for tabular grain formation.
