Abstract

In a method for processing at least 2 kinds of silver halide color photographic light-sensitive materials comprising the steps of development, bleach-fixing, water washing and/or stabilization, the method comprises processing, in a common bleach-fixing bath and a common water washing or stabilization bath directly subsequent thereto, one silver halide color photographic light sensitive material having, applied to a substrate, a silver halide emulsion layer which contains, on average, not less than 3 mole % of silver iodide and another silver halide color photographic light sensitive material having applied to a substrate a silver halide emulsion layer which is substantially free of silver iodide, the water washing or stabilization bath containing at least one nonionic surfactant. The amount of replenisher for the bleach-fixing bath and the water washing or stabilizing bath is reduced to not more than 400 ml/m.sup.2 for color paper or not more than 800 m1/m.sup.2 for color negative film. The method makes it possible to simultaneously process different color light-sensitive materials such as color negative films and color paper and to thereby reduce the space required for installing …
