A photographic element comprises a support bearing a cyan dye image-forming unit comprising at least one red-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer having associated therewith at least one cyan dye-forming coupler, a magenta dye image-forming unit comprising at least one green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer having associated therewith at least one magenta dye-forming coupler, a yellow dye image-forming unit comprising at least one blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer having associated therewith at least one yellow dye-forming coupler, wherein at least one of said emulsion layers comprises a) an emulsion with 3D, core/shell grains of at least 0.40 mu m average diameter having a high iodide content in the core of the grain with a shell containing a lesser amount of iodide, b) a one-equivalent image-dye forming coupler, and c) a fragmentable electron donating compound of the formula: X-Y' or a compound which contains a moiety of the formula -X-Y'; wherein X is an electron donor moiety, Y' is a leaving proton H or a leaving group Y, with the proviso that if Y' is a proton, a base, beta <->, is covalently linked directly or indirectly to X, and wherein: 1) X-Y' has an oxidation potential between 0 and about 1.4 V; and 2) the oxidized form of X-Y' undergoes a bond cleavage reaction to give the radical X<*> and the leaving fragment Y; and, optionally, 3) the radical X<*> has an oxidation potential ≤-0.7V (that is, equal to or more negative than about -0.7V).
