Abstract (en)

The present invention provides a method for processing a silver halide color photographic material which gives an excellent stability to a processing solution having a fixing ability (e.g., fixing solution, blixing solution), provides an image with little stain (particularly cyan stain), gives an excellent image stability with time after processing (particularly magenta) and causes minimized failure of color restoration. A novel method for processing a silver halide color photographic material comprising color development, desilvering, rinsing and/or processing with a stabilizer is provided, wherein the desilvering is effected with (a) a processing solution with a bleaching ability containing at least one ferric complex salt (III) of a compound represented by formula (I) and having a pH value of from 3 to 7 and (b) a processing solution with a fixing ability containing at least complex-forming agent selected from the group consisting of a compound represented by formula (II), EDTA and an organic phosphonic acid and having a pH value of from 6.1 to 8.0. <CHEM> wherein R1 represents a hydrogen atom, aliphatic hydrocarbon group, aryl group or heterocyclic group; L1 and L2 each represent an alkylene group; and M1 and M2 each represent a hydrogen atom or cation; or cation; or cation; <CHEM> wherein R21, R22, R23 and R24 each represent a hydrogen atom, aliphatic hydrocarbon group, aryl group, heterocyclic group, hydroxyl group or carboxyl group; t and u each represent an integer of 0 or 1; W represents a divalent connecting group containing carbon atoms; and M21, M22, M23 and M24 each represent a hydrogen atom or cation.
