Claims
- 1. A method of forming an image comprising the steps of
- (a) imagewise exposing a silver halide photographic material to light having substantially no wavelengths of less than 370 nm, said silver halide photographic material comprising: (i) a support, (ii) at least one light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer formed on said support, (iii) at least one other hydrophilic colloid layer, and (iv) a redox compound that releases a development inhibitor when oxidized in at least one of said at least one light-sensitive layer or said at least one other hydrophilic colloid layer; and
- (b) processing said exposed silver halide material from step (a) to produce a value of at least 10.0; wherein said redox compound is a compound represented by formula (I); ##STR21## wherein A.sub.1 and A.sub.2 both represent a hydrogen atom or one of them represents a hydrogen atom and the other represents an alkylsulfonyl group having not more than 20 carbon atoms, an alkylsulfonyl group having not more than 20 carbon atoms, an arylsulfonyl group or ##STR22## wherein R.sub.0 represents an alkyl group, an alkenyl, an aryl group, an alkoxy group, or an aryloxy group; and l represents 1 or 2); Time represents a divalent linkage group; t represents 0 or 1; PUG represents a development inhibitor; V represents a carbonyl group, ##STR23## a sulfonyl group, a sulfoxy group, (wherein R.sub.1 represents an alkoxy group or an aryloxy group), an iminomethylene group, or a thiocarbonyl group; and R represents an aliphatic group, an aromatic group, or a heterocyclic group.
- 2. The method of forming an image as claimed in claim 1, wherein said at least one light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer contains an inorganic desensitizer, an organic desensitizer, or a safelight dye.
- 3. The method of forming an image as claimed in claim 2, wherein said inorganic desensitizer is a rhodium salt, an iridium salt, or a cupric chloride.
- 4. The method of forming an image as claimed in claim 1, wherein the amount of said redox compound is from about 1.0.times.10.sup.-6 mol to about 5.0.times.10.sup.-2 mol per mol of silver halide.
- 5. The method of forming an image as claimed in claim 1, wherein said light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer or hydrophilic colloid layer contains a hydrazine derivative.
- 6. The method of forming an image as claimed in claim 5, wherein said hydrazine derivative is a compound represented by formula (II): ##STR24## wherein R.sub.1 represents an aliphatic group or an aromatic group; R.sub.2 represents a hydrogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkoxy group, or a substituted or unsubstituted aryloxy group; and G represents a carbonyl group, a sulfoxy group, a phosphoryl group, or an N-substituted or unsubstituted iminomethylene group.
- 7. The method of forming an image as claimed in claim 6, wherein the amount of said hydrazine derivative is from about 1.times.10.sup.-6 mol to about 1.times.10.sup.-1 mol per mol of silver halide.
- 8. The method of forming an image as claimed in claim 1, wherein said light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer or hydrophilic colloid layer contains a tetrazolium compound.
- 9. The method of forming an image as claimed in claim 8, wherein the amount of said tetrazolium compound is from about 1.times.10.sup.-3 mol to about 5.times.10.sup.-2 mol per mol of silver halide.
- 10. The method of forming an image as claimed in claim 1, wherein said silver halide photographic material contains an ultraviolet absorbent.
- 11. The method of forming an image as claimed in claim 10, wherein the amount of said ultraviolet absorbent is from about 10.sup.-2 g/m.sup.2 to about 1 g/m.sup.2.
- 12. The method of forming an image as claimed in claim 1, wherein an optical filter for absorbing ultraviolet rays is used as a light source filter.
