PURPOSE:To complete the desilvering of a specified photosensitive material in a short time and to prevent magenta stain by carrying out the desilvering by processing with a bath having bleaching power and processing with the succeeding bath having bleach-fixing power. CONSTITUTION:An imagewise exposed and color developed photosensitive material is processed with a bleaching bath and the succeeding bleach-fixing bath. By this method, the material can be desilvered in a processing time shorter than the time required to process the material with bleaching and fixing baths or only a bleach-fixing bath. When a compound represented by formula I and/or a compound represented by formula II is used as a hardening agent, magenta stain is remarkably inhibited and the fading of a cyan dye can be reduced. In the formulae, Y is vinyl, A is a bivalent org. group or a single bond and R is H or 1-4C hydrocarbon group. |
