Abstract
Disclosed is a method of processing a light-sensitive silver halide color photographic material subjected to imagewise exposure, substantially through a color developing step, a bleach-fixing step and a stabilizing step in this order, wherein at least one layer of the light-sensitive silver halide color photographic material comprises a silver halide containing not less than 80 mol % of silver chloride, the washing-substitutive stabilizing step is carried out in a processing time of not more than 45 seconds, and a washing-substitutive stabilizing solution used in the washing-substitutive stabilizing step has a salt concentration of at least 1,000 ppm. Disclosed are also a washing-substitutive stabilizing solution and a kit of a stabilizer used for the method of this invention. According to this invention, processing of a light-sensitive material that have better prevented the bluing at exposed areas of color photographic papers and also have suppressed the generation of mildew or bacteria on a processed light-sensitive material, moreover that have been improved in paper jam and the like due to incompleteness of drying and also can conduct rapid processing is enabled.
