Bleach-fixing composition for a color photographic processing system used for silver halide light-sensitive photographic material and processing method using the same

A method for processing a color photographic material using a bleach-fixing composition for a color photographic processing system in which bleach-fixing is carried out in a bleach-fixing bath which is replenished with a bleach-fixing replenishing solution,

• comprising the steps of:
• developing the photographic material after being exposed;
• bleach-fixing using the bleach-fixing composition;
• adding a bleach-fixing replenishing solution to the bleach fixing bath in an amount of at most 80 ml per m2 of the photographic material, and
• wherein the bleach-fixing composition and the bleach-fixing replenishing solution both comprise:
• (a) a Fe(III) complex of a compound represented by Formula (I);
• wherein each A1, A2, A3 and A4 represents independently —CH2OH, —PO3M2 or —COOM, in which M represents a hydrogen atom or a monovalent cation;
• and X represents an alkylene group with 2 to 6 carbon atoms or —(B1O)n—B2—, in which each B1 and B2 represents independently an alkylene group with 1 to 8 carbon atoms, and n represents an integer of 1 to 8, and
• (b) FE(III) complex of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid or Fe (III) complex of diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid,
• provided that the mol concentration of (a) and (b) being A and B respectively satisfy the following formula:
• 0.9<A/B<5.0.
