<p>A silver halide color reversal image forming method is disclosed. The image forming method uses a silver halide color photographic material. The photographic material comprises a support, a silver halide emulsion layer containing a cyan coupler, a silver halide emulsion layer containing a magenta coupler and a silver halide emulsion layer containing a yellow coupler. The method comprises the steps of imagewise exposing to light the photographic material, subjecting the material to a black and white development process, subjecting the material to a reversal process, subjecting the material to a color development process, and subjecting the material to a desilvering process. In the present invention, the black and white development process is completed for a time of not longer than 80 seconds after the photographic material is imagewise exposed to light. The yellow coupler is a specific compound represented by the formula [I]. The layer containing the specific yellow coupler is the uppermost silver halide emulsion layer containing a coupler. The photographic material further comprises at least three protective layers provided on the layer containing the yellow coupler. The lower protective layer contains a scavenger of an oxidation product of a developing agent in an amount of not less than 0.1 mg/m<2>. The middle protective layer contains non-photosensitive silver halide grains in an amount of not less than 0.001 mg/m<2>. The upper protective layer is a colloidal layer. The non-photosensitive silver halide grains preferably contain silver chloride in an amount of not less than 70 % by mole.</p> |
