Method for the formation of dye image.

摘要

A method of forming a dye image which comprises processing, after imagewise exposure, a silver halide light-sensitive color photographic material having on a support thereof a silver halide emulsion layer containing silver halide crystals of which not less than 80 mol % are silver chloride crystals, in a developer essentially free from bromide ion and having a pH value of not less than 9.5, in the presence of a p-phenylenediamine color developing agent and a compound having an acid dissociation constant of not more than 1 x 10<-><8>, a solubility product with silver ion of not more than 1 x 10<-><1><0> and the formula
<CHEM>
wherein Z represents a group which forms a heterocyclic ring with the N atom.
