Solid processing compositions for light-sensitive silver halide photographic materials

A processing composition for light-sensitive silver halide photographic material comprising a cyclodextrin linked with maltose or glucose, and a slightly water-soluble organic compound selected from the group consisting of Formulae VI, VII, VIII and S, ##STR125## wherein Y.sub.1 represents hydrogen, alkali metal, or mercapto;

• R.sub.4 and Y.sub.2 are each hydrogen, halogen, nitro, amino, cyano, hydroxyl, mercapto, sulfo, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl, substituted or unsubstituted alkynyl, substituted or unsubstituted alkoxy, hydroxycarbonyl, alkylcarbonyl, or alkoxycarbonyl;
• and n represents an integer of 1 to 4, ##STR126## wherein A represents lower alkylene having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, or polyalkylene ether which is represented by --(CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2)).sub.p, --(CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 O).sub.p --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 -- or ##STR127## and does not combine with B through O, and A' represents lower alkylene having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, or polyalkylene ether represented by --(CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 O).sub.p --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 -- or ##STR128## and does not combine with B through O;
• provided that A and A' are not polyalkylene ether at same time;
• p represents an integer of 2 to 30, B and B' represents --NH-- or --O--, provided that B and B' are not --O-- at the same time;
• R represents lower alkyl having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, phenyl, aralkyl, or --(CH.sub.2).sub.q --COOR', wherein q is an integer of 1 to 3 and R' represents an alkyl group having 1 to 3 to carbon atoms;
• X represents a divalent group selected from --S--, --O--, --CH.sub.2 --, ##STR129## wherein R.sup.N represents lower alkyl having 1 to 3 carbon atoms.
