Abstract
A method of providing an image in an imagewise exposed silver halide photographic silver material comprising at least one silver halide emulsion layer, comprises developing the silver halide and fixing the remaining silver halide by (i) contacting the photographic material with a composition comprising a solid complexing agent for the silver halide in the presence of a sufficient amount of water to transfer complexing agent to the surface of the photographic material and (ii) applying heat to cause the complexing agent to react with the silver halide to render it substantially clear.
