A method and an apparatus for forming an image through either basic development processing or non-basic development processing on the same processor to provide equal image quality, in which an exposed color light-sensitive material (e.g., color negative film) is processed under non-basic conditions (e.g., rapid processing conditions), image information is read out from the developed film and converted to optical or electrical digital information, the digital information is subjected to image processing to obtain target image characteristics which should have been obtained under basic development processing conditions, and the resulting image characteristics are output to a printer.
