A method of processing an image-wise exposed silver halide color photographic material is described, having on a support at least one red-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, at least one green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, and at least one blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, the total amount of silver iodide contained in the light-senstive silver halides in said light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layers being higher than 4.0x10-3 mole/m2, which comprises processing the color photographic material further containing in a protective layer thereof a super fine grain silver halide, having a mean grain size of less than 0.2 mu m and having a silver iodide content of less than 3 mole %, in an amount of from 50 to 140 mole % of the total amount of silver iodide contained in the light-sensitive silver halides, by a color development process including a step subjecting the material to a compound represented by formula (I) <IMAGE> (I) wherein M represents a hydrogen atom, an alkali metal atom, an alkaline earth metal atom, a quaternary ammonium group, a quaternary phosphonium group, an amidino group, or a group represented by <IMAGE> wherein R1 and R2 each represents a hydrogen atom or an aliphatic residue; and m represents an integer of 2 to 4; or a strong acid salt thereof.
