Abstract

A method of processing silver halide color photographic materials which comprises image-wise exposing said silver halide color photographic materials, color developing and then desilvering them in a bath having bleaching ability, characterized in that the bath having bleaching ability comprises two baths, the oxidation-reduction potential of the first bath being higher than that of the second bath, the oxidation-reduction potential of the second bath falling in the range of +60 mV to -60 mV, the first bath containing a water-soluble bromide in an amount of 0.5 to 1.3 mole/l, and the second bath containing a water-soluble bromide in an amount of 0 to 0.5 mole/l.
