Method of processing silver halide color photographic light-sensitive materials

A method of processing a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material having a silver halide emulsion layer containing silver halide grains having a silver chloride content of not less than 80 mol %, wherein said silver halide color photographic material is color-developed and then processed with a bleaching solution (BL-1) comprising at least one of ferric complex salts of compounds represented by the following formula A or B:

• ##STR119## wherein A.sub.1 through A.sub.4, which may be the same or different from each other, each represent --CH.sub.2 OH, --COOM or --PO.sub.3 M.sub.1 M.sub.2 ;
• M, M.sub.1 and M.sub.2 each represent a hydrogen atom, an alkali metal atom or an ammonium group and X represents a substituted or unsubstituted alkylene group having three to six carbon atoms, and ##STR120## wherein A.sub.1 through A.sub.4 are the same as those defined for Formula A;
• n represents an integer of 1 to 8;
• and B.sub.1 and B.sub.2, which may be the same or different from each other, each represent substituted or unsubstituted alkylene group having two to five carbon atoms;
• a replenishing volume of said bleaching solution (BL-1) is not more than 50 ml per m.sup.2 of said silver halide color photographic material;
• and the processing time with said bleaching solution is not longer than 40 seconds, and wherein said silver halide color photographic material is developed with a color developer containing a compound represented by the following Formula E, ##STR121## wherein X.sub.2, X.sub.3, Y.sub.1 and Y.sub.2 each represent a hydroxy group, halogen atom, alkyl group, aryl group, ##STR122## or --OR.sub.25, wherein R.sub.21 and R.sub.22 each represent a hydrogen atom, alkyl group or aryl group;
• R.sub.23 and R.sub.24 each represent an alkylene group;
• R.sub.25 represents a hydrogen atom, alkyl group or aryl group;
• and M represents a cation.
