Method of processing light-sensitive silver halide color photographic material.

摘要

A method of processing a light-sensitivity silver halide color photographic material by processing a light-sensitive silver halide color photographic material with a processing solution having fixing ability and subsequently processing the fixed material with a water washing-substitutive stabilizing solution substantially without carrying out washing with water, which comprises carrying out processing with a water washing-substitutive stabilizing solution in the presence of at least one of the compounds represented by the Formulae (I). (II), (II') and (II") shown below: Formula (I)

In this method, generation of stain can be suppressed at the unexposed portion even when a prolonged continuous processing is conducted and also storage stability of the cyan dye under high temperature and high humidity can be improved.
