Abstract
A process for forming a direct positive color image is disclosed, the process comprising imagewise exposing a photosensitive material containing at least one emulsion layer of silver halide of internal latent image type, which has not been preliminarily fogged, and a color image-forming coupler; developing said material using a surface developing solution containing an aromatic primary amine color developing agent in the presence of a nucleating agent and/or in the condition that fogging exposure is carried out prior to the developing step or during the developing step; bleaching; and fixing, wherein said color coupler is a compound which is in itself substantially nondiffusible, and capable of forming or releasing a substantially nondiffusible dye upon oxidative coupling with said aromatic primary amine color developing agent and said development processing is carried out at a pH of 11.5 or less using a developing solution containing substantially no benzyl alcohol in the presence of at least one compound selected from the group consisting of the compounds represented by the general formula (I)
