Process for the development of photographic materials

摘要

A process for the development of an imagewise exposed photographic recording material containing more than 200mg/sq metre of silver comprises subjecting the photographic recording material to a development/amplification step using a developer/amplifier solution containing an oxidizing agent, preferably peroxide and controlling the process temperature within the range 20 to 50C and the process time between 5 and 20 seconds. The process temperature is preferably from 27 to 45C and the process time from 7 to 15 seconds. After the development/amplification step, the photographic material is preferably immediately subjected to a bleach-fix step and staining is avoided.
