Abstract
A method has been disclosed of processing an exposed silver halide photographic material comprising at least one coated hydrophilic silver halide emulsion layer comprising tabular grains rich in chloride, bounded by [100] or [111] major faces, characterized by the steps of developing, followed by fixing, rinsing and drying the said material, wherein developing proceeds in a developer, comprising hydroquinone in an amount from 0 to 30 g per liter, an auxiliary developer, as silver halide complexing agents alkali metal sulphite salts in an amount from 1 to 50 g per liter, at least 1 g of a compound corresponding to the formula (I), a precursor thereof, a derivative thereof and/or a metal salt thereof ##STR1## wherein the substituents are defined in the main embodiment of the specification.
