Abstract
The present inventions relate to a processing method for processing, with a developing time of not more than 180 seconds, a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material comprising a support, provided thereon, with at least one silver halide emulsion layer, and at least one emulsion layer containing silver iodo-bromide with not less than 0.5 mole % of silver iodine, in particular to an active processing method wherein, a light-sensitive material B not only containing silver iodo-bromide with an iodine content of not less than 0.5 mole % but also a magenta coupler and providing a maximum magenta density, after exposed, and being capable of only satisfying the maximum magenta dye density M of M<2.0 if exposed under specific conditions and then subjected to color developing of a duration of three minutes 15 seconds at 38.degree. C. with a specific developer solution, is capable of offering a maximum magenta density satisfying M.gtoreq.2.0, when the light-sensitive material is exposed under the exposure conditions and subjected to color developing with a duration of not more than 2.5 minutes, whereby excellent image in terms of image quality is resulted.
