8-11657/TEL 186/+ Process for the prevention of darkening and the formation of a sediment in photographic developer solutions A process is described for the prevention of darkening and the formation of a sediment in photographic developer solutions which contain a silver halide developer, a water-soluble silver halide solvent and organic sulfur compounds. The organic sulfur compounds are a combination of (a) an organic thiol compound or thione compound capable of tautomerism and (b) a Bunte salt which contains groups conferring solubility in water. Developer solutions which contain the indicated combination of sulfur compounds are outstandingly stable.
