Method for processing of light-sensitive silver halide color photographic material

Claim 1

A method for processing of a light-sensitive silver halide color photographic material characterized by carrying out, after image exposure of said material, development processing of said material in a developing solution containing the following components (A), (B) and (C) or (D), or both (C) and (D): (A) an aromatic amine color developing agent compound; (B) a manganese salt and/or a cerium salt contained in the amount of 0.1 to 20 mg per liter of the developing solution; (C) a diphosphonic acid sequestering agent and a magnesium salt and/or a lithium salt; and (D) at least one of a sequestering agent selected from the group consisting of the compounds represented by the formulas (I), (II), (III), (IV) and (V): ##STR14## wherein A 1 represents a carboxylic acid group, a phosphoric acid group or a salt thereof; X represents a hydroxyl group or a salt thereof; B represents a halogen atom, a hydroxyl group, an alkyl group, a carboxylic acid group, a phosphoric acid group, or salts of a hydroxyl group, a carboxylic acid group or a phosphoric acid group; r and l each are integer of 0, 1 or 2; and n is an integer of 1 to 4; and m is an integer of 0 to 3, ##STR15## wherein A 2 , A 3 , A 4 , A 5 , A 6 , A 7 and A 8 each represent an alkylene group; Z represents a divalent organic group; and M 1 to M 7 each represent a hydrogen atom or an alkaline metal atom, ##STR16## wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 each represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a sulfonic acid group, an alkyl group having 1 to 7 carbon atoms, --OR 5 , --COOR 6 , ##STR17## or a phenyl group; and R 5 , R 6 , R 7 and R 8 each represent a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms; provided that when R 2 represents --OH or a hydrogen atom, R 1 represents a halogen atom, a sulfonic acid group, an alkyl group having 1 to 7 carbon atoms, --OR 5 , --COOR 6 , ##STR18## or a phenyl group.

Claim 2

A method for processing of a light-sensitive silver halide color photographic material characterized by carrying out, after image exposure of said material, development processing of said material in a developing solution containing the following components (A), (B) and (C) or (D), or both (C) and (D): (A) an aromatic amine color developing agent compound; (B) a manganese salt and/or a cerium salt contained in the amount of 0.1 to 20 mg per liter of the developing solution; (C) a diphosphonic acid sequestering agent and a magnesium salt and/or a lithium salt; and (D) at least one of a sequestering agent selected from the group consisting of the compounds represented by the formulas (I), (II), (III), (IV) and (V): ##STR14## wherein A 1 represents a carboxylic acid group, a phosphoric acid group or a salt thereof; X represents a hydroxyl group or a salt thereof; B represents a halogen atom, a hydroxyl group, an alkyl group, a carboxylic acid group, a phosphoric acid group, or salts of a hydroxyl group, a carboxylic acid group or a phosphoric acid group; r and l each are integer of 0, 1 or 2; and n is an integer of 1 to 4; and m is an integer of 0 to 3, ##STR15## wherein A 2 , A 3 , A 4 , A 5 , A 6 , A 7 and A 8 each represent an alkylene group; Z represents a divalent organic group; and M 1 to M 7 each represent a hydrogen atom or an alkaline metal atom, ##STR16## wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 each represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a sulfonic acid group, an alkyl group having 1 to 7 carbon atoms, --OR 5 , --COOR 6 , ##STR17## or a phenyl group; and R 5 , R 6 , R 7 and R 8 each represent a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms; provided that when R 2 represents --OH or a hydrogen atom, R 1 represents a halogen atom, a sulfonic acid group, an alkyl group having 1 to 7 carbon atoms, --OR 5 , --COOR 6 , ##STR18## or a phenyl group.
