PURPOSE: To produce a photographic element containing a magenta coupler free from problems together with a photographic characteristic such as dyestuff forming efficiency of a coupler, dyestuff forming speed. dyestuff hue and contamination generation by using a specified compd.
CONSTITUTION: In the photographic element containing a photosensitive silver halide layer having a coupler of a pyrazolone compd. having a coupling releasing group at-4-position and can be combined, the compd. is expressed by the formula. In the formula, each R1 is a alkylsulfonyl or arylsulfonyl group, each R2 and R3 is substd. group respectively, R4-R6 are hydrogen or alkyl group, (m) and (n) are 0 or 1 respectively, but both are not 0, x1 and x2 are 0-5 respectively, (y) is 0-3, and each R3-R6 are selected respectively so that a calculated log P of a thiophenol corresponding to a substd. group at 4-position of pyrazolone is at least 4.
