Light-sensitive color photographic elements and process for developing them.

摘要

A process for developing a color photographic light-sensitive element which comprises exposing a color photographic light-sensitive element, color developing the exposed light-sensitive element in a developing bath, and then treating the light-sensitive element in a bleach bath. The developing bath contains at least 5 grams/liter of developing agent and/or the pH value of the bleach bath is at least 6.0. The photographic element, before being imagewise exposed, contains a compound represented by the general formula (I) wherein R is NR1R2 or O-R3, wherein R1 and R2, being the same or different, each represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group (preferably an alkyl group having up to 6 carbon atoms); and R3 represents an alkyl group : <CHEM>
