Abstract
The invention provides a color photographic element suitable for forming both a colored dye image and a neutral silver-based image, comprising a support bearing at least one light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing a coupler capable of forming a colored dye upon development, and bearing a further light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing a coupler which is capable of releasing a thiovinyl group upon development that is capable of reacting to form a neutral silver-based image.
