Abstract

A radiation sensitive emulsion is disclosed that improves the light absorption of high chloride tabular grain emulsions in the longer wavelength half of the blue spectrum. The tabular grains each have a tabular substrate portion containing at least 50 mole percent chloride, based on silver, bounded by {100} major faces and a portion deposited on the substrate containing a silver salt exhibiting a higher solubility than silver iodide and a higher absorption of blue light at wavelengths longer than 450 nm than silver iodide.
