Method for developing an exposed silver halide color photosensitive material

摘要

An improved method for developing an exposed silver halide color photosensitive material is disclosed which comprises conducting the development in the presence of a cyan coupler. The coupler has, in the active position thereof, the following split-off group: <IMAGE> WHEREIN R1 is an aliphatic hydrocarbon residue, an aromatic hydrocarbon residue, or a heterocyclic ring residue; R2 is an aliphatic hydrocarbon residue or an aromatic hydrocarbon residue; l is an integer of 0 to 4 inclusive.
