Method for forming color image.

摘要

Disclosed is a method for forming a color image wherein a full-color photographic material is subjected to scanning exposure to three lights each having a different wavelength and then processed with a color developer containing at least one aromatic primary amine color developing agent and containing chloride ion in an amount of from 3.5x10<-><2> to 1.5x10<-><1> mol/liter and bromide ion in an amount of from 3.0x10<-><5> to 1.0x10<-><3> mol/liter. The recording material has at least three silver halide light-sensitive layers each containing of yellow-coloring, magenta-coloring or cyan-coloring couplers, at least two of the layers are so color-sensitized that may have a maximum value of the color sensitivity at a different wavelength of 670 nm or more and at least one of the layers are made of a high silver chloride emulsion having a layer average silver chloride content of 90 mol% or more. The recording material contains at least one dye of the following formula (A) in the hydrophilic colloid layer. By the method, color images may rapidly be formed by high-speed process and the color images formed are free from unfavorable results of residual colors or stress mark streaks. where R<1> to R<6> each a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group; Z<1> and Z<2> each represents a non-metallic atomic group necessary for forming a substituted or unsubstituted benzo-condensed or naphtho-condensed ring; provided that R<1> to R<6> are Z<1> and Z<2> are to be such that the dye molecule may have at least three acid groups; L represents a substituted or unsubstituted methine group; X represents an anion; n represents 1 or 2; provided that when the dye is in the form of an internal salt, n is 1.
