Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to a method of processing a silver halide color photosensitive material. In particular, to a rapid processing method capable of reducing the development time. In the processing method, an exposed silver halide color photosensitive material having at least one emulsion layer containing a silver halide having a chlorine content of at least 80 molar % based on the total halogens is processed with a color developer containing an aromatic primary amine color developing agent and a dialkylhydroxylamine of the following general formula (I) but substantially free of benzyl alcohol: ##STR1## wherein R 1 and R 2 each represent an unsubstituted or substituted alkyl group or an unsubstituted or substituted alkenyl group or R 1 and R 2 may form a hetero ring together with nitrogen atom.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim
139 words
A method of processing a silver halide color photosensitive material comprising, processing an exposed silver halide color photosensitive material having at least one emulsion layer containing a silver halide having a chlorine content of at least 80 molar % based on the total halogens with a color developer which is substantially free of benzyl alcohol, said color developer (i) having a pH of about 9 to about 11, (ii) containing sulfites in an amount ranging from about 0 to about 5 g/l, (iii) containing an aromatic primary amine color developing agent, and (iv) containing a dialkylhydroxylamine of the following general formula (I): ##STR28## wherein R 1 and R 2 each represent an unsubstituted or substituted alkyl group or an unsubstituted or substituted alkenyl group or R 1 and R 2 may form a hetero ring together with nitrogen atom.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
139 words
A method of processing a silver halide color photosensitive material comprising, processing an exposed silver halide color photosensitive material having at least one emulsion layer containing a silver halide having a chlorine content of at least 80 molar % based on the total halogens with a color developer which is substantially free of benzyl alcohol, said color developer (i) having a pH of about 9 to about 11, (ii) containing sulfites in an amount ranging from about 0 to about 5 g/l, (iii) containing an aromatic primary amine color developing agent, and (iv) containing a dialkylhydroxylamine of the following general formula (I): ##STR28## wherein R 1 and R 2 each represent an unsubstituted or substituted alkyl group or an unsubstituted or substituted alkenyl group or R 1 and R 2 may form a hetero ring together with nitrogen atom.
