Modelling of acutance dye influence on the image sharpness in heterogenic light-sensitive layers

In this paper, the results of theoretical examinations of the influence of acutance dyes contained in light-sensitive layers on the modulation transfe r function and the image sharpness are presented. A significant increase of the photographic image quality was confirmed which resulted from diminishi ng the harmful influence of the scattered actinic radiation. The results ob tained have been presented in the form of changes in both the modulation tr ansfer function and the values of state indicators of image sharpness as de pendent on the acutance dye concentration in the light sensitive layers.
