Abstract
A method for continuously processing a silver halide color photographic photosensitive material by treating this material with a color developer containing at least one aromatic primary amine color developing agent, comprises the steps of covering the surface of a color developer replenisher in a color developer replenisher tank with a layer of a floating fluid and replenishing 20 to 100 ml of the color developer replenisher per m.sup.2 of the photosensitive material to a color developing tank. This method makes it possible to inhibit the formation of the precipitate in the color developer replenisher caused when the amount of the replenisher is considerably reduced and also to inhibit the change of the photographic characteristics by change of the amount of the processed photosensitive material so that the amount of the color developer replenisher can be remarkably reduced to the range of 20 to 100 ml per square meter of the photosensitive material and that of the waste water can be also remarkably reduced.
