Replenishment of a developer containing ascorbic acid and 3-pyrazolidone derivatives.

摘要

A method is disclosed for processing with constant activity image-wise exposed silver halide photographic material comprising the steps of : (a) developing photographic material in a continuous automatic way by means of a developing solution containing an ascorbic acid analogue or derivative and a 3-pyrazolidone derivative as developing agents ; (b) replenishing said developing solution by means of at least one replenishing solution having a higher pH than the developing solution. In an alternative method the replenisher is added as a powder.
