Abstract
A process for stabilizing the magenta dye image in a photographic color element comprises the steps of contacting the element with an aqueous stabilizing solution containing a water-soluble N-methylol compound and an alkaline buffering agent, subjecting the stabilized element to an aqueous wash to remove scum formed by the treatment with the stabilizing solution, and drying the element at an elevated temperature.
