A method of forming colored images is disclosed. A silver halide color photographic photosensitive material which contains at least one yellow coupler represented by formula (I) in a yellow color forming silver halide emulsion layer which is established on a support is exposed using a scanning exposure system in which the exposure time per picture element is shorter than 10-4 seconds and then subjected to color development processing: <IMAGE> (I) wherein A represents <IMAGE> X represents an organic group which is required to form, along with the nitrogen atom, a nitrogen containing heterocyclic ring, Y represents an aromatic group or a heterocyclic group, and Z represents a group which is eliminated on reaction of the coupler represented by formula (I) with an oxidation product of a developing agent. The method provides high quality hard copy both cheaply and quickly by means of a scanning exposure using high density light such as lasers for example. It also provides a method of forming colored images which is improved in respect of the variation in photographic performance with respect to fluctuations in development processing.
