A photothermographic element comprises: (a) a support bearing onnone surface thereof (b) a photosensitive emulsion layer (i) a binder; (ii) a light-insensitivenorganic silver salt, (iii) a reducing agent, and (iv) a photosensitivensilver halide emulsion; (c) an antihalation dye incorporated in the emulsion layer,nin a polymer layer under the photosensitive layer, in the support, or in a backsidenpolymer layer; and (d)one or more tinting dyes such that the final color space ofnthe film lies within the range defined by 220°<h ab <260°, where h ab is thenpsychometric hue angle, h ab =arctan(b*/a*) , as defined in the CIELAB colornsystem. |
