Abstract

There is disclosed a method for processing a silver halide photographic light sensitive material comprising the steps of PA1 developing the light sensitive material with a developing solution, PA1 treating the light sensitive material with a fixing capacity-having solution, and then PA1 treating the light sensitive material with a processing solution (S), wherein part of or the whole of overflow from a tank containing the processing solution (S) is allowed to flow into a tank containing the fixing capability-having solution, and wherein solid processing chemicals are added to the fixing capacity-having solution or the overflow from the tank containing the processing solution (S).
