Abstract

A photographic element which has a blue sensitive emulsion with broad blue spectral coverage and yet, good speed and low fog. The element has a blue sensitive silver halide tabular grain emulsion which has a tabularity of at least 25 sensitized with a dye of formula (I) and a dye of formula (II), wherein the formula (I) dye on the emulsion has a peak sensitization of between 400-445 nm and the formula (II) dye on the emulsion has a peak sensitization of between 446-500 nm: ##STR1## wherein: Z.sub.1, Z.sub.2, Z.sub.3 and Z.sub.4 independently represent the atoms necessary to complete a substituted or unsubstituted benzene or naphthylene; PA1 X, Y, X.sub.1 and Y.sub.1 are independently O, S, Se or MR.sub.5, provided that at least X or Y is O or NR.sub.5, where R.sub.5 is a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl or aryl; PA1 R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 independently represent H or a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl or aryl.
