Abstract: Chemistry has played a major role in the development and perfection of modern color photographic systems which utilize color development to produce the dye images. The mechanisms of the reactions of color development are now known in some detail and the effects produced by side reactions are beginning to be understood. The factors influencing fidelity of color reproduction, speed-graininess, sharpness and dye image stability have been the subject of continuing chemical research. A review of some of this chemical research shows how it has led to a steady improvement in color photographic materials.
