Abstract
There is disclosed a method of forming a color image that comprises processing a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material having at least one photographic constitutional layer on a support, wherein the processing substantially comprises a developing step and subsequent thereto a step of supplying an acidic solution having a pH of 4 or less, in the form of a thin layer, onto the light-sensitive material, so as to have a coverage of 30 ml/m or less, omitting both the washing and desilvering steps, and wherein the total of the coating silver amount in each of the coating layers of the light-sensitive material is in the range of 0.003 to 0.3 g/m in terms of silver. According to this method, both a highly enhanced convenience of the processing and a simplicity and miniaturization of the processing apparatus can be realized by using a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material that is excellent in coloring property, storage stability, dye image fastness and hue, and moreover by omitting both the washing and desilvering steps. Further, a stain occurring after processing a light-sensitive material can be lessened.
