Silver halide color photographic photosensitive material and image forming method

An image forming method comprising:

• a step of imagewise exposing a silver halide color photographic photosensitive material having, on a support, photographic constituent layers comprising at least one blue sensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing a yellow dye forming coupler, at least one green sensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing a magenta dye forming coupler, at least one red sensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing a cyan dye forming coupler, and at least one non-photosensitive hydrophilic colloid layer;
• a color developing step;
• a bleach-fixing step;
• and
• a rinsing step,
• wherein:
• at least one of the at least one red sensitive silver halide emulsion layer contains at least one compound represented by the following general formula (IA);
• a total non-volatile oil soluble component/gelatin ratio of the at least one red sensitive silver halide emulsion layer is in a range of 0.7 to 1.1;
• a total coating amount of gelatin of the photographic constituent layers is 4.0 g/m2 to 7.0 g/m2;
• and
• a calcium content in a rinsing solution in a final processing bath of the rinsing step is 5 mg/liter or less,
• wherein R′ and R″ each independently represent a substituent;
• and Z represents a hydrogen atom or a group capable of being removed by coupling reaction with an oxidant of an aromatic primary amine color developing agent.
