Abstract
The invention provides an apparatus for processing a sheet-shaped halide photographic light-sensitive material having a hydrophilic colloidal layer on a substrate. In the apparatus, there are provided a plurality of guides for guiding the sheet-shaped material. Each of the plurality of guides has a slit for passing the sheet-shaped material through it, and the slit of the guide body is shaped to temporarily hold the developing solution by the work of surface tension of the solution. A heating device for heating the developing solution temporarily held by the slit is further provided. The sheet-shaped material is processed while passing through the slit during the temporary holding of the heated developing solution.
