Color developer composition

Abstract

A process and a composition is described of a color developing agent for processing a silver halide color photographic material, the composition containing a paraphenylenediamine type color developing agent and an amine of formula (I) or a salt thereof R1NR2R3  (I) wherein R1 and R2 are independently selected from alkyls, phenyls, hydrogen, and substituted derivatives thereof, such substituents including hydroxyl, alkoxyl, amide, sulfoneaminde and alkyl sulfoneamide groups, and R3 represents an aromatic such as phenyl or naphthyl and substituents thereof. When used in highly concentrated solutions, the compositions are capable of preventing the precipitation of the color developer agent.
