Method for processing silver halide color photographic material.

摘要

A method for processing a silver halide light-sensitive material comprising subjecting an imagewise exposed silver halide color light-sensitive material having a silver chloride content substantially of 90 mol% or more to color development in a color developing solution containing a hydrophilic p-phenylenediamine derivative and substantially no benzyl alcohol at a temperature of 30 DEG C or higher for a period of 20 seconds or less and then subjecting the color developed material to bleach or bleach-fix, wherein the color development processed silver halide color light-sensitive material is introduced into a bleaching or bleach-fix bath with the amount of a color developing agent in the film of the light-sensitive material being controlled to 1 mmol/m<2> or less, and wherein the desilvering is completed within 30 seconds. According to the process, not only color development but also desilvering can be completed in a reduced time without desilvering insufficiently, and a dye image having long-term preservation stability can be obtained.
