Abstract

A method of treating a direct positive silver halide sensitive material is disclosed. The material is comprised of a base having thereon a compound represented by the general formula (I), a sensitive silver halide photographic emulsion layer and a hydrophilic colloid layer. The exposed material is developed in the presence of the compound represented by the general formula (II) ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 independently represent a hydrogen atom, an aliphatic residue, an aromatic residue or a heterocyclic residue, R.sup.3 represents a hydrogen atom or an aliphatic residue, R.sup.4 represents a hydrogen atom, an aliphatic residue or an aromatic residue, and X represents a divalent aromatic residue; ##STR2## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 represent each a hydrogen atom or an aliphatic residue, and R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 may form a ring by linking together, R.sup.3 represents a divalent aliphatic residue, X represents a single bond or a divalent heterocyclic ring containing nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur atoms, and M represents a hydrogen atom, an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal, a quaternary ammonium salt, a quaternary phosphonium salt or an amidino group. The invention provides …
