Method for processing light-sensitive halide color photographic material |
(57) Disclosed is a method for processing a light-sensitive silver halide color photographic
material having at least one silver halide emulsion layer which comprises subjecting
to image-like exposure and subsequently to processing including at least color development
step and bleaching step, the improvement wherein a bleaching solution employed in
said bleaching step contains at least one organic acid ferric complex; and said bleaching
solution contains at least one organic acid in a range of not more than 10 mole %
of the content of said organic acid ferric complex contained in said bleaching solution;
and a replenished amount in said bleaching step is 30 mf to 300 mℓ per 1m
2 of said silver halide color photographic material.
This invention can provide a method for processing a light-sensitive silver halide
color photographic material without any impairment of recoloring property even if
a replenished amount of a bleaching solution is reduced.
