A silver halide emulsion comprising silver halide grains covered with two
dye layers in combination. The two dye layers comprises an inner dye
layer adjoining to the silver halide grain, and containing at least one
sensitizing dye capable of spectrally sensitizing silver halide, and an
outer dye layer adjoining to the inner dye layer, and containing at least
two dyes. The light absorption energy of the outer dye layer is equal to
or higher than that of the inner dye layer, an energy-releasing
wavelength of the outer dye layer overlaps with an energy-absorbing
wavelength of the inner dye layer, the sensitizing dyes constituting the
inner dye layer include an anion and/or betaine dyes, the dyes
constituting the outer dye layer include an anion and cation dyes, and
the anion dye is more than the cation dye in terms of an addition amount
and/or an adsorption amount.
