COLOUR DEVELOPMENT OF SILVER HALIDE PHOTOGRAPHIC MATERIAL

摘要

There is disclosed a method for processing a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material, wherein said silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material having at least a silver halide emulsion layer comprising a silver halide grain essentially consisting of silver chlorobromide and a binder of which swelling rate T 1/2 is not more than 30 sec. is processed with a color developer containing a N-hydroxyalkyl-p-phenylenediamine derivative at a temperature not less than 30 DEG C for a time not more than 150 sec. Said method is hardly affected by the bromide ion concentration fluctuation caused by changes in the replenishing quantity and the influence of the evaporation of a processing solution, is capable of forming a dye image which is highly stable and excellent in the resistance against discoloration by light and produces little or no magenta color stain due to the mixing in the heavy-metallic ions.
