Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 61 words
A method for processing a silver halide color photographic material which comprises processing said color photographic material in the presence of (a) an aromatic primary amine color developing agent, (b) a diphosphonic acid, and (c) a water soluble metallic salt of magnesium, aluminium, zinc, barium or zirconium in a stoichiometrically equivalent or excess amount with respect to that of diphosphonic acid.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 61 words
A method for processing a silver halide color photographic material which comprises processing said color photographic material in the presence of (a) an aromatic primary amine color developing agent, (b) a diphosphonic acid, and (c) a water soluble metallic salt of magnesium, aluminium, zinc, barium or zirconium in a stoichiometrically equivalent or excess amount with respect to that of diphosphonic acid.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 19 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein the water soluble metallic salt is water soluble metallic salt of magnesium.
Claim 4
Independent Claim 69 words
A method for processing a silver halide color photographic material which comprises processing said color photographic material in the presence of (a) an aromatic primary amine color developing agent, (b) a diphosphonic acid, (c) a water soluble metallic salt of magnesium, aluminium, zinc, barium or zirconium in a stoichiometrically equivalent or excess amount with respect to that of diphosphonic acid, and (d) an iminodicarbonic acid or a polyphosphoric acid.
Claim 5
Independent Claim 69 words
A method for processing a silver halide color photographic material which comprises processing said color photographic material in the presence of (a) an aromatic primary amine color developing agent, (b) a diphosphonic acid, (c) a water soluble metallic salt of magnesium, aluminium, zinc, barium or zirconium in a stoichiometrically equivalent or excess amount with respect to that of diphosphonic acid, and (d) an iminodicarbonic acid or a polyphosphoric acid.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 55 words
An aqueous color developing solution which comprises (a) an aromatic primary amine color developing agent, (b) a diphosphonic acid, (c) a water soluble metallic salt of magnesium, aluminium, zinc, barium or zirconium in an amount stoichiometrically equivalent or excess with respect to that of diphosphonic acid, and (d) an iminodicarbonic acid or a polyphosphoric acid.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 55 words
An aqueous color developing solution which comprises (a) an aromatic primary amine color developing agent, (b) a diphosphonic acid, (c) a water soluble metallic salt of magnesium, aluminium, zinc, barium or zirconium in an amount stoichiometrically equivalent or excess with respect to that of diphosphonic acid, and (d) an iminodicarbonic acid or a polyphosphoric acid.
