Abstract

A process for processing an imagewise exposed silver halide photographic material comprising a support having thereon at least one light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, comprising the steps of developing in a developing bath and processing in a bath having a fixing ability, wherein the bath having the fixing ability contains at least one mesoionic compound represented by formula (I): ##STR1## In a second embodiment, a process is disclosed for processing an imagewise exposed silver halide color photographic material comprising a support having thereon at least one light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, comprising the steps of subjecting the material to color development, and then subjecting the material to blix in a blix bath, wherein the blix bath contains at least one mesoionic compound represented formula (III) or (IV): ##STR2##
