Abstract

Disclosed is a photographic element comprising a light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer having associated therewith a coupler that forms a dye for which the &lgr;max using spin-coating is shifted towards the infrared region of the spectrum by at least 30 nm, when compared to the &lgr;max of the same dye in solution form, to a value of at least 700 nm. Such an element is useful for recording metadata with an image.
