A bleach/fixing bath, characterized in that it contains, apart from the active and auxiliary substances necessary for bleach/fixing, a phosphonocarboxylic acid having at least two carboxylic acid groups per molecule, is lower in odor and more stable than conventional bleaching baths.

Bleach-fixing bath for color photographic material

A processing method without washing gives good photographic properties, without a precipitate being deposited in the stabilizing bath, when the bleach-fixing bath contains a compound of the formula

Photographic processing method

A no-rinse processing method for the production of color photographic images comprising the steps of developing, bleaching, fixing and stabilizing, of which the bleaching and fixing steps may be combined into a bleach fixing step, gives dye images of satisfactory quality, even after prolonged use, if the stabilizing bath used in the stabilizing step contains an effective quantity of a pyrazole which, in one of the possible tautomeric forms, corresponds to the following general formula: ##STR1## in which X represents OH or NH.sub.2,

No-rinse photographic processing method and the stabilizing bath used

Receivers with a detachable seal comprising a porous compressive mass (4) substantially covering the whole base of the receiver are suitable for purifying liquids, particularly photographic processing baths.
