Silver halide photographic material and image forming method using the same

A silver halide photographic material, comprising:

• a transparent support;
• and
• a plurality of layers comprising a first photosensitive layer, a second photosersitive layer and a third photosensitive layer directly or indirectly on the transparent support, the first photosensitive layer consisting of at least one blue-sensitive layer, the second photosensitive layer consisting of at least one green-sensitive layer and the third photosensitive layer consisting of at least one red-sensitive layer,
• wherein all silver halide grains contained in the first, second and third photosensitive layers each has an average equivalent-sphere diameter of 0.35 μm or less, and
• wherein at least one layer that is a layer on the opposite side to the transparent support with the at least one green-sensitive layer as a center, and not the at least one green-sensitive layer, contains a fixed magenta dye,
• at least one layer that is a layer on the opposite side to the transparent support with the at least one red-sensitive layer as a center, and not the at least one red-sensitive layer, contains a fixed cyan dye, and
• at least one layer of the at least one green-sensitive layer contains a coupler represented by formula (M-I), formula (M-III) or formula (Z):
• wherein R11 represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group, an aryl group a heterocyclic group, a cyano group, a hydroxyl group, a nitro group, a carboxyl group, an amino group, an alkoxyl group, an aryloxy group, an acylamino group, an alkylamino group, an amilino group, a ureido group, a sulfamoylamino group, an alkylthio group, an arylthio group, an alkoxycarbonylamino group, a sulfonamido group, a carbamoyl group, a sulfamoyl group, a sulfonyl group, an alkoxycarbonyl group, a heterocyclic oxy group, an azo group, an acyloxy group, a carbamoyloxy group, a silyloxy group, an aryloxycarbonyl-amino group, an mido group, a heterocyclic thio group, a sulfinyl group, a phosphonyl group, an aryloxycarbonyl group, an acyl group or an azolyl group, and R11 may be a divalent group to form a bis form;
• R12 and R13 represent the same group as the substituents represented by R11;
• and X represents a hydrogen atom or a group capable of elimination in a reaction with an oxidant of an aromatic primary amine developing agent:
• wherein a represents an integer of from 0 to 3;
• b represents an integer of from 0 to 2;
• R1 and R2 each independently represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkoxyl group, a halogen group, an aryl group, an aryloxy group, an acylamino group, a sulfonamido group, a sulfamoyl group, a carbamoyl group, an arylsulfonyl group, an aryloxycarbonyl group, an alkoxycarbonyl group, an alkoxysulfonyl group, an aryloxysulfonyl group, an alkylureido group, an arylureido group, a nitro group, a cyano group, a hydroxyl group or a carboxyl group;
• R3 represents a halogen atom, an alkyl group or an aryl group;
• X and Y each independently represents a direct bond or a bonding group;
• and B1 and B2 each independently represents a stabilizing group not to diffuse a coupler.
