Abstract
A method of processing a silver halide color photographic material is disclosed. The material is treated with a bleach-fixing solution or a fixing solution, and then, without washing with water, treated with a stabilizing solution incorporating a water-soluble chelate compound of at least one metal selected from the group consisting of Ba, Ca, Ce, Co, In, La, Mn, Ni, Pb, Ti, Sn, Zn and Zr and the group consisting of Mg, Al and Sr.
Claims23
A method of processing a silver halide color photographic material which comprises
- (a) imagewise exposing said material,
- (b) then developing said material,
- (c) then treating said material with one of a bleach-fixing solution or a fixing solution, each of said bleach-fixing solution and said fixing solution containing an organic acid iron (III) complex salt, and
- (d) then, without washing with water, treating said material with a stabilizing solution containing a water-soluble chelate compound of at least one metal selected from a first group consisting of Ba, Ca, Ce, Co, In, La, Mn, Ni, Pb, Ti, Sn, Zn, and Zr, and a second group consisting of Mg, Al, and Sr,
- wherein said chelate compound of a metal from said first group is present in an amount of 1.times.10.sup.-4 to 1.times.10.sup.-1 mole per liter of said stabilizing solution and said chelate compound of a metal from said second group is present in an amount of 1.times.10.sup.-4 to 3.5.times.10.sup.-2 mole per liter of said stabilizing solution.
A method of processing a silver halide color photographic material which comprises
- (a) imagewise exposing said material,
- (b) then developing said material,
- (c) then treating said material with one of a bleach-fixing solution or a fixing solution, and
- (d) then, without washing with water, treating said material with a stabilizing solution containing a water-soluble chelate compound of at least one metal selected from a first group consisting of Ba, Ca, Ce, Co, In, La, Mn, Ni, Pb, Ti, Sn, Zn, and Zr, and a second group consisting of Mg, Al, and Sr,
- wherein said silver halide photographic material contains at least one coupler of the following formula C-I or C-II ##STR20## wherein X is --COR.sub.2, ##STR21## --CONHCOR.sub.2 or --CONHSO.sub.2 R.sub.2 wherein R.sub.2 is an alkyl group, alkenyl group, cycloalkyl group, aryl group or a hetero ring;
- R.sub.3 is a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, alkenyl group, cycloalkyl group, aryl group or a hetero ring;
- provided that R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 may combine to form a 5- or 6-membered ring;
- R.sub.1 is a ballast group;
- and Z is a hydrogen atom or a group that is capable of leaving upon coupling with the oxidized product of an aromatic primary amine color developing agent;
- ##STR22## wherein R.sub.1, X and Z are defined above.
