Abstract

The invention provides a photographic element comprising a silver halide emulsion layer having associated therewith a dye-forming coupler represented by formula I: ##STR1## wherein X is hydrogen or a coupling-off group; and PA2 R' is a tertiary alkyl group and R" represents the group ##STR2## in which R.sup.1, R.sup.2, and R.sup.3 are independently selected alkyl groups, provided that any two of R.sup.1, R.sup.2, and R.sup.3 may join to form a ring; PA3 R.sup.4 is hydrogen or a substituent, provided that R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 may join to form a ring when R.sup.4 is a substituent; and PA3 W is a substituent selected from the group consisting of --C(O)R.sup.5, --SO.sub.2 R.sup.5, and --P(O)(OR.sup.6).sub.2 in which R.sup.5 is selected from the group consisting of alkyl, aryl, alkoxy, aryloxy, alkylamino, and arylamino groups and R.sup.6 is selected from the group consisting of alkyl and aryl groups. The element exhibits improved magenta dye light stability.
