Abstract

A silver halide photographic element comprising at least one silver halide emulsion layer containing a dye-forming coupler which reacts with an oxidized color developing agent to form dye, said silver halide element further comprising a polyester support and an amido compound of Formula I wherein INH is a development inhibitor;LINK is a linking or timing group and m is 0, 1 or 2;R1 and R2 independently represent an aliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic group, or R1 and R2 together with the nitrogen to which they are attached represent the atoms necessary to form a 5 or 6 membered ring or multiple ring system, or R1 and R2 are independently a —C(═O)(LINK)m—INH group, or are substituted with an —NR3aC(═O)—(LINK)m—INH group, with R3a being defined the same as R1 or R2, and wherein the compound of Formula I does not substantially react with oxidized developer to release INH.
