Abstract
A method for processing a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material is disclosed. The method comprises the step of processing a color silver halide photographic material by a processing apparatus having the first processing tank in which the light-sensitive material is firstly processed, a turning portion positioned outside the processing solution between the first processing tank and the next processing tank, wherein the silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material has a coated silver amount of from 3 g/m.sup.2 to 10 g/m.sup.2, and a value of R.times.L.sub.1 /S is within the range from 1.5 to 5.0, or a value of L.sub.1 .times.K/S is within the range of from 26 to 70, when R is a curvature radius in centimeter of the turning portion, L.sub.1 is a length in centimeter of the portion of the first processing tank at which the light-sensitive material is immersed in a processing solution, S is a transportation speed of the light-sensitive material in the processor in centimeter per minute, and K is an opening ratio in cm.sup.2 /liter of the first processing tank.
