Abstract
A bleaching composition for color photographic materials consists essentially of an aqueous solution containing a complex of ferric ion and an aminopolycarboxylic acid or salt thereof; a mercapto-substituted 5-membered heterocyclic nitrogen compound having at least two nitrogen atoms; and a vinyl pyrrolidone polymer selected from the group consisting of poly-N-vinyl pyrrolidone and an alkyl-substituted poly-N-vinyl pyrrolidone. Use of the novel bleaching composition in the bleaching process for color photographic materials results in a substantial reduction in bleaching time while preventing the formation of a precipitate during the process. Further, use of the bleaching composition and process permits a significant reduction in the amounts of bleaching agent and other components of the bleaching solution required where the bleaching time is not critical which results in a substantial cost reduction. In addition, the more complete silver removal achieved provides processed color photographic materials having improved quality.
