Method for processing a silver halide photographic material

A processing method comprising development-processing with an automatic developing machine while replenishing a developing solution, a photographic material comprising a support having thereon a silver halide emulsion layer or a constituent layer adjacent to the emulsion layer which contains (i) a silver halide composition comprising at least one of silver bromochloride, silver chloroiodide, or silver bromochloroiodide each having a silver chloride content of 90% mol or more, or silver chloride, and (ii) a compound represented by the following Formula (I) ##STR12## wherein R.sub.1 represents a hydrogen atom, an ammonium group, or an alkali metal atom;

• and R.sub.2 represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, or an aryl group, with a developing solution containing
• (1) a dihydroxybenzene compound, and
• (2) an ascorbic acid or a derivative thereof in an amount of at least 5 mole % based on the amount of the dihydroxybenzene compound,
• wherein said developing solution is replenished in an amount of from 150 to 200 ml per m.sup.2 of the photographic material being processed.
