Abstract

An image forming method including a step of imagewise exposing a silver halide color photographic photosensitive material having, on a support, photographic constituent layers including at least one blue sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, at least one green sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, at least one red sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, and at least one non-photosensitive hydrophilic colloid layer, a color developing step, a bleach-fixing step and a rinsing step. At least one of the at least one red sensitive silver halide emulsion layer contains at least one compound represented by the following general formula (IA) and/or at least one coupler represented by the following general formulae (PTA-I) and (PTA-II)

Claims (15)

1. An image forming method comprising:

a step of imagewise exposing a silver halide color photographic photosensitive material having, on a support, photographic constituent layers comprising at least one blue sensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing a yellow dye forming coupler, at least one green sensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing a magenta dye forming coupler, at least one red sensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing a cyan dye forming coupler, and at least one non-photosensitive hydrophilic colloid layer;

a color developing step;

a bleach-fixing step; and

a rinsing step,

wherein:

at least one of the at least one red sensitive silver halide emulsion layer contains at least one compound represented by the following general formula (IA);

a total non-volatile oil soluble component/gelatin ratio of the at least one red sensitive silver halide emulsion layer is in a range of 0.7 to 1.1;

a total coating amount of gelatin of the photographic constituent layers is 4.0 g/m 2 to 7.0 g/m 2 ; and

a calcium content in a rinsing solution in a final processing bath of the rinsing step is 5 mg/liter or less,

wherein R′ and R″ each independently represent a substituent; and Z represents a hydrogen atom or a group capable of being removed by coupling reaction with an oxidant of an aromatic primary amine color developing agent.

2. An image forming method according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the at least one green sensitive silver halide emulsion layer contains at least one compound represented by the following general formula (M-II), and a total non-volatile oil soluble component/gelatin ratio in the green sensitive silver halide emulsion layer is in a range of 0.8 to 1.1,

wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 each independently represent a hydrogen atom or a substituent; and X represents a hydrogen atom or a group capable of being removed by reaction with an oxidant of an aromatic primary amine color developing agent.

3. An image forming method according to claim 1 , wherein the silver halide color photographic photosensitive material is subjected to scanning exposure with an exposure time of 10 −3 sec or less per pixel.

4. An image forming method according to claim 1 , wherein a total coating amount of silver in the silver halide color photographic photosensitive material is 0.47 g/m 2 or less.
