the layer units each exhibits a dye image gamma of less than
1.5,
the element exhibits an exposure latitude of at least 2.7
log E, where E is exposure measured in lux-seconds, and a light
sensitivity of at least ISO 50, and
the gamma ratio of each of the red, green, and blue light
recording layer units is between 0.80 and 1.20 20 [sic] wherein
said support defines two faces and all the sensitized layers are
supplied on a common face of said support and the total thickness
of the layers on the sensitized layer bearing face of said
support is between 5 and 30 µm.
