Bleach-fixing composition for a color photographic processing system used for silver halide light-sensitive photographic material and processing method using the same

Abstract

A photographic bleach-fixing composition for a color photographic processing system in which bleach-fixing is carried out in a bleach-fixing bath that is replenished with a replenishing solution, wherein the photographic bleach-fixing composition comprises: (a) a Fe(III) complex of a compound represented by Formula (I); 1 wherein each A1, A2, A3 and A4 represents independently —CH2OH, —PO3M2 or —COOM, in which M represents a hydrogen atom or a monovalent cation; and X represents an alkylene group with 2 to 6 carbon atoms or —(B1O)n—B2—, in which each B1 and B2 represents independently an alkylene group with 1 to 8 carbon atoms, and n represents an integer of 1 to 8, and (b) Fe(III) complex of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid or Fe(III) complex of diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid, provided that the mol concentration of (a) and (b) being A and B respectively satisfy the following formula: 0.9<A/B<5.0.
