Method of photographic processing with solution replenishment

Abstract

A method of redox amplification processing of a photographic color material in which the image-forming step takes place in a developer-amplifier solution containing both a photographic color developing agent and an oxidant contained in a processing tank of comparatively small volume (the processing tank). A developer-amplifier replenisher solution which is stable over an idle period of 48 hours, is provided from a tank of comparatively large volume (the reservoir) holding sufficient for replenishment over a predetermined extended period of time at a rate which is greater than 160 ml/m.sup.2 of material processed. The overflow from the processing tank is returned to the reservoir where additions are made in a predetermined manner from water and/or one or more of four solutions comprising color developing agent concentrate, oxidant concentrate, buffer concentrate and anti-oxidant concentrate.
