Abstract
Disclosed is a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material which is capable of forming an image by: after exposing a light-sensitive material, which comprises a first support having thereon at least one photographic light-sensitive layer comprising a light-sensitive silver halide emulsion, a developing agent, a compound capable of forming a dye upon coupling reaction with an oxidation product of the developing agent and a binder; attaching said light-sensitive material to a processing material, which comprises a second support having thereon a base and/or a base precursor, in such a way that the coated surfaces of the two materials faced each other, in the presence of a small amount of water which corresponds to from {fraction (1/10)} to 1 time water necessary for giving maximum swelling of all coated layers constituting the light-sensitive material and the processing material; and then heating the light-sensitive material and the processing material, wherein at least one said light-sensitive layer contains an emulsion having silver halide grains having a silver chloride content of 50 mol % or more, wherein the silver halide grains are tabular grains having (i) a main outer surface constituted by (100) faces, (ii) having a rectangular shape with adjacent major face (projection plane) edge ratios being from 1:1 to 1:2, and (iii) having an aspect ratio of 2 or more.
