Abstract

Photosensitive silver halide emulsions are prepared by providing an emulsion containing an anionic acid-substituted organic ripening agent and a salt of an element in Group IIA of the Periodic Table and then growing silver halide grains in the emulsion. This combination of an acid-substituted organic ripener and a salt of a Group IIA element produces a superadditive effect on the growth of silver halide crystals.
