<p>A method of forming a photographic image by processing an imagewise exposed silver halide light-sensitive photographic material in an automatic processor, wherein said light-sensitive photographic material contains at least one compound selected from the group consisting of those represented by formula [I] and formula [II] below; <CHEM> wherein R1 is selected from a hydrogen atom, a straight-chain or branched-chain alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group, an alkenyl group, an aralkyl group, an aryl group, a heterocyclic group, an alkylamido group, an arylamido group, an alkylthioamido group, an arylthioamido group, an arylsulfoamido and an arylsulfoamido group; R2 and R3 are independently selected from a hydrogen atom,a halogen atom, an alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group, an aryl group, a cyano group, an alkylthio group, an arylthio group, an alkylsulfoxido group, an alkylsulfonyl group, and a heterocyclic group; provided that the above-mentioned alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkenyl, heterocyclic aralkyl and aryl groups may have a substituent, and that said R2 and R3 may be a divalent group and form a ring; <CHEM> wherein R4 is selected from a hydrogen atom and a lower alkyl group or a hydroxymethyl group; and R5 is selected from a hydrogen atom and a lower alkyl group; under a condition satisfying an equation given below; 50 </= l <0.75> x T </= 124, wherein l is length of a passage for said silver halide light-sensitive to be transported for processing, and is more than 0.7m and less than 3.1m, T is time in terms of second necessary for said silver halide light-sensitive photographic material to pass through said passage.</p> |
