METHOD OF PROCESSING LIGHT-SENSITIVE SILVER HALIDE COLOR PHOTOGRAPHIC MATERIAL

摘要

A method of processing a light-sensitive silver halide color photographic material which comprises subjecting to imagewise exposure a light-sensitive silver halide color photographic material having a light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer on i) a substrate coated with a resin cured by irradiation with electron beams or ii) one side or both sides of a substrate of an opaque thermoplastic resin film comprising a synthetic polyester film coated on its one side or both sides with fine particles of white pigment and/or a synthetic polyester film containing said fine particles dispersed in the film and applied with molecular orientation, followed by color developing processing and, after processing by use of processing solution having fixing ability, stabilizing processing without substantially any water washing step. The concentration of silver complex ions in the final stabilizing tank is in the range of 2x10-5 to 2x10-1 mole/liter. The method is useful for improving particularly the edge stain with lapse of time after the processing.
