Claims
- 1. A method for forming an image which comprises developing an image-wise exposed silver halide color photographic material with a color developer containing at least one aromatic primary amine color developing agent, wherein said silver halide color photographic material comprises a silver chloride or silver chlorobromide emulsion having an average silver bromide content of 10 mol% or less and containing substantially no iodide, with a mean grain size of an emulsion contained in the blue-sensitive layer thereof being controlled to 0.9 .mu.m or smaller, wherein the silver halide to coupler ratio in said blue-sensitive layer ranges from 2 to 5 as a molar ratio, and wherein said color developer contains from 3.5.times.10.sup.-2 to 1.5.times.10.sup.-1 mol/l of chloride ion and from 5.0.times.10.sup.-5 to 5.0.times.10.sup.-4 mol/l of bromide ion.
- 2. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the silver chlorobromide emulsion contains 1 mol% or less silver iodide.
- 3. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the silver chlorobromide emulsion contains 0.2 mol% or less silver iodide.
- 4. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the silver chlorobromide emulsion contains 5 mol% or less silver bromide.
- 5. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the mean grain size of the emulsion contained in the blue-sensitive layer is 0.3 .mu.m to 0.9 .mu.m.
- 6. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the emulsion in the blue-sensitive layer is a monodispersed emulsion having a coefficient of variation of grain size of not more than 20% or less.
- 7. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the photographic emulsion contains at least one of a stabilizer compound.
- 8. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the silver halide color photographic material contains a yellow coupler, a magenta coupler and a cyan coupler.
- 9. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the color developer contains 4.times.10.sup.-2 to 1.times.10.sup.-1 mol/l of chloride ion.
- 10. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the silver halide to coupler ratio in said blue-sensitive layer ranges from 2 to 4 as a molar ratio.
- 11. A method as claimed in claim 10, wherein the silver halide to coupler ratio in said blue-sensitive layer ranges from 2.2 to 3 as a molar ratio.
