A method of forming an image comprising, after color developmenmt of an exposed silver halide color photographic material, processing the developed silver halide color photographic material with a bath having a bleaching ability and subsequently with a bath having a bleach-fixing ability, wherein the silver halide color photographic material comprises a support having coated thereon at least one silver halide emulsion layer and at least one pyrazoloazole type magenta coupler represented by the following general formula (A): <IMAGE> (A) wherein R22 represents a hydrogen atom of a substituent; X represents a group capable of being split off upon a coupling reaction with an oxidation product of an aromatic primary amine developing agent; Za, Zb and Zc each represents a methine group, a substituted methine group, =N- or -NH-, one of the Za-Zb bond and the Zb-ZC bond being a double bond and the other being a single bond; when the Zb-Zc bond is a carbon-carbon double bond, the Zb-Zc bond may be a part of a condensed aromatic ring; R22 or X may also form a polymer including a dimer or more; and when Za, Zb or Zc is a substituted methine group, the substituted methine group may form a polymer including a dimer or more. In accordance with the method of forming an image, desilveration is completed in a short period of time and color photographic images having excellent color reproducibility and fastness are obtained without the formation of magenta stain.
