In an apparatus (A) for processing a light-sensitive material, a plurality of processing tanks (CD,BF,S1,S2,S3) are serially arranged along a conveyance passage on which the light-sensitive material is conveyed in a conveying direction. The apparatus (A) comprises a device for replenishing compensation water into a most-downstream tank arranged most downstream among the plurality of processing tanks in terms of the conveying direction under the following inequality: <MATH> E (ml/day) : amount of evaporated water from the plurality of processing tanks per day, C (ml/day) : amount of the compensation water to compensate the evaporated water, P (m<2>/day) : amount of the light-sensitive material processed per day, R (ml/ m<2>) : amount of replenishing processing solution per m<2> of light-sensitive material. <IMAGE> |
