Abstract

An improved preparation of high chloride {100} tabular grain emulsions that relies on iodide ions to produce tabular grain growth is disclosed. By delaying iodide ion introduction until after the initiation of grain nucleation the proportion of total grain projected area accounted for by high chloride {100} tabular grains is increased. The projected areas of the {100} tabular grains can exceed 95 percent of total grain projected area.
