Abstract

The present invention provides a photographic element comprising a support bearing a blue-light sensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing an acylacetanilide yellow image dye-forming coupler having formula I or II: ##STR1## wherein: R.sub.a is a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl groups, alkoxy group or aryloxy group; R.sub.b is a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl or aryl group; R.sub.c is hydrogen or a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group; R.sub.1 is a substituent; n is an integer from 0 to 2; R.sub.2 is selected from the group consisting of halogen, trifluoromethyl, and substituted or unsubstituted alkoxy and aryloxy; R.sub.3 is substituted or unsubstituted alkyl; R.sub.4 is hydrogen, halogen, alkoxy carbonyl (--CO.sub.2 R), carbamoyl (--CONRR'), carbonamido (--NRCOR'), sulfonamido (--NRSO.sub.2 R') or trifluoromethyl; and X is hydrogen or a coupling-off group; and wherein the blue-light sensitive silver halide emulsion layer has associated therewith a development inhibitor releasing coupler. The invention also provides a method of forming an image in such an element.
