A method for processing silver halide photographic light-sensitive material which comprises color developing an imagewise-exposed silver halide photographic light-sensitive material and then bleach-fixing said color developed light-sensitive material, said light-sensitive material comprising support having thereon a silver halide emulsion layer containing monodispersed silver halide particles and a photographic cyan coupler having the Formula [I]: ##STR1## wherein X is a hydrogen atom or a radical that can be split off by the reaction of said coupler with the oxidized product of an aromatic primary amine color developing agent; R.sub.1 is an aryl or a heterocyclic radical; and R.sub.2 is a ballasting radical which provides non-diffusibility to said cyan coupler and a cyan dye formed therefrom.

Method for the processing of silver halide photographic light-sensitive

Disclosed is a light-sensitive silver halide color photographic material comprising at least one light-sensitive layer, which is constituted of a plurality of silver halide emulsion layers having substantially the same color sensitiveness but being different in sensitivities and contains a dye image-forming coupler, provided by coating on a support, said material being constituted so as to satisfy at the same time the requirements that (a) said plurality of silver halide emulsion layers in said light-sensitive layer are provided by coating in the order from the support side a low sensitivity emulsion layer, medium sensitivity emulsion layer and high sensitivity emulsion layer, (b) a non-sensitive intermediate layer is provided by coating between said low sensitivity emulsion layer and said medium sensitivity emulsion layer, (c) the density of a dye image-forming coupler in said medium sensitivity emulsion layer is 10 to 60% of the density of a dye image forming coupler in said low sensitivity emulsion layer; and (d) the maximum color-formed density (D) in said medium sensitivity emulsion layer is 0.6&lt;D&lt;1.2.
