Abstract (en)

According to this invention a developer has been disclosed having a low pH value between 9.6 and 11.0, preferably between 9.6 and 10.3, and comprising hydroquinone in an amount from 0 to less than 30 g per litre, an auxiliary developing agent, and as silver halide complexing agents alkali metal sulphite salts, preferably sodium salts, in an amount from 0 to less than 50 g per litre, more preferably to less than 40 g per litre, and thiocyanate salts in amounts from 0.1 to 3 g, more preferably from 0.5 to 2.5 g per litre, and at least 1 g of a compound corresponding to the formula (I), a precursor thereof, a derivative thereof and/or a metal salt thereof <CHEM> wherein each of A, B and D independently represents an oxygen atom or NR<1>; X represents an oxygen atom, a sulphur atom, NR<2>; CR<3>R<4>; C=O; C=NR<5> or C=S; Y represents an oxygen atom, a sulphur atom, NR<'2>; CR<'3>R<'4>; C=O; C=NR<'5> or C=S; Z represents an oxygen atom, a sulphur atom, NR<''2>; CR<''3>R<''4>; C=O; C=NR<''5> or C=S; n equals 0, 1 or 2; each of R<1> to R<5>, R<'1> to R<'5> and R<''1> to R<''5>, independently represents hydrogen, subsituted or unsubstituted alkyl, aralkyl, hydroxyalkyl, carboxyalkyl; substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl, substituted or unsubstituted alkynyl, substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkenyl, substituted or unsubstituted aryl or substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclyl; and wherein R<3> and R<4>, R<'3> and R<'4>, R<''3> and R<''4>, may further form together a ring; and wherein in the case that X=CR<3>R<4> and Y=CR<'3>R<'4>, R<3> and R<'3> and/or R<4> and R<'4> may form a ring and wherein in the case that Y=CR<'3>R<'4> and Z=CR<''><3>R<''4> with n= 1 or 2, R<'3> and R<''3> and/or R<'4> and R<''4> may form a ring.
