Method of producing a photographic image

摘要

A method of producing a photographic image in an imagewise exposed photographic material comprising one or more silver halide emulsion layers comprises developing the material with a developer solution containing a silver halide developing agent, applying to the surface of the developed material a solution of a sulphite compound that reacts with oxidised developing agent and prevents further development, and applying to the surface of the developed material a solution of an oxidant that oxidises any remaining developing agent, wherein said sulphite compound is present in an amount sufficient to react with all the oxidised developing agent and said solutions of sulphite and oxidant are applied to the material by means other than immersion in a tank.
