The present invention provides a method for photographic processing of a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material with high sensitivity and with less fog. This method comprises imagewise exposing a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material and then developing the exposed light-sensitive material in the presence of at least one compound selected from the group consisting of the compounds represented by the following formulas (I)-(IV): ##STR1## wherein Z represents a group of atoms necessary to form a condensed aromatic ring which may have a substituent in addition to ##STR2## R represents a hydrogen atom or a monovalent organic group, R.sub.1 represents a hydrogen atom or a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group and X represents an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom, a selenium atom or &gt;N--R.sub.2 wherein R.sub.2 represents a hydrogen atom or a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group; ##STR3## wherein Y represents a group of atoms necessary to form a heterocyclic ring having two or more nitrogen atoms, Z represents a group of atoms necessary to form a condensed aromatic ring which may have a substituent in addition to ##STR4## and R represents a hydrogen atom or a monovalent organic group; and ##STR5## wherein Y represents a group of atoms necessary to form a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic ring containing no condensed aromatic ring, R represents a hydrogen atom or a monovalent organic group, A represents an arylene group and n is 0 or 1.

Method for processing silver halide photographic light-sensitive material

Disclosed is a method for producing images which comprises imagewise exposing a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material and then developing the exposed light-sensitive material in the presence of a compound represented by the following general formula [I], [II] or [III]: ##STR1## wherein Ar represents an aryl group, R represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, an unsaturated hetero ring group or an aryl group and R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 each represent a hydrogen atom or a group represented by the general formula (i): ##STR2## wherein R.sub.0 represents an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, an aryl group, an alkoxy group or an aryloxy group and n is an integer of 1 or 2. ##STR3## wherein Ar, R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are as defined in the general formula [I] and R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 each represent a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an aryl group, an unsaturated hetero ring group or a substituted amino group and R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 may combine with each other to form a ring, ##STR4## wherein Ar, R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are as defined in the general formula [I] and R.sub.5 represent a nitrogen-containing hetero ring residue.

Method of producing images

Disclosed is a processing composition for silver complex diffusion transfer process which contains the following constituents (A) to (E) or (A) to (F):

Processing compositions for silver complex diffusion transfer process

A lithographic printing plate with a markedly improved printing endurance is obtained by the silver complex diffusion transfer process when the diffusion transfer development treatment is carried out in the presence of at least one thione compound having a non-enolizable thione group, an adjacent nitrogen atom with an attached substituent R and represented by &gt;N-R, and a group of atoms selected from carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur atoms which may carry the substituent R, said group of atoms being necessary for forming a 5- or 6-membered ring having no aromatic condensed ring, said substituent R having 1 to 3 carbon atoms or no carbon atom.

Method for making improved lithographic printing plate

An image-forming layer containing silver halide emulsion and a magenta coupler represented by the general formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 represents an alkyl group having 10 to 18 carbon atoms, R.sub.2 represents hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, X represents a halogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or an alkoxy group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, Y.sub.1 represents an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, an alkoxy group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or a halogen atom, Y.sub.2 and Y.sub.3, which may be the same or different, represent hydrogen atoms or have the meaning assigned to Y.sub.1, and Z represents hydrogen atom or the atom or group which splits off by coupling.

Image-forming layer containing silver halide emulsion and magenta coupler

Compounds represented by the following general formula are extremely effective as ultraviolet ray-absorbing agent, especially, for color photographic photosensitive materials. ##SPC1## (wherein R.sub.1 is an alkyl group having 1 to 13, preferably 5 to 13 carbon atoms, R.sub.2 is an alkyl group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms and X is hydrogen, a halogen, an alkyl, an alkoxy, an aryloxy, an aralkyloxy or an aryl group).

Color photographic photosensitive material containing ultraviolet

Double merocyanine compounds having the following general formula as referred to hereinafter are useful as sensitizing dyes in siliver halide photosensitive materials.
