There are described novel image-receiving elements for use in diffusion transfer photographic systems. The novel image-receiving elements include a layer capable of reducing the light-absorbing capacity of an optical filter agent. The layer comprises nonylphenoxypolyoxyethylene and polyoxyethylene stearate. Diffusion transfer photographic systems utilizing the novel image-receiving elements of the present invention exhibit substantial clearing of optical filter agents during about the first five minutes of photographic processing, enabling the viewing of the emerging image against a whiter, brighter background, and show substantially diminished haze in the film coatings. L'invention concerne de nouveaux éléments récepteurs d'image destinés aux systèmes photographiques de diffusion-transfert. Ces éléments comprennent une couche qui diminue la capacité d'absorption de la lumière d'un agent filtre optique, et qui contient du stéarate de nonylphénoxypolyoxyéthylène et de polyoxyéthylène. Dans les systèmes photographiques de diffusion-transfert utilisant les éléments récepteurs d'image de la présente invention, les agents filtres optiques sont sensiblement éliminés pendant les cinq premières minutes environ du traitement photographique, ce qui permet à l'image d'apparaître sur un fond plus blanc, plus clair, et il y a moins de voile dans le revêtement de la pellicule.
