Claims
- 1. A method for processing a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material after image-wise exposure to radiation comprising a support having thereon a light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer having associated therewith a blocked photographic agent capable of releasing a photographically useful agent, which method comprises processing the photographic light-sensitive material in the presence of a non-polymeric oxime represented by the following formula (I) which has 1 to 10 carbon atoms: ##STR11## wherein R.sup.1 represents a hydrogen atom; R.sup.2 represents a hydrogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted methyl group or a substituted or unsubstituted ethyl group; and R.sup.3 represents a phenyl group having at least one ortho-hydroxy group and may be further substituted, a substituted or unsubstituted hydroxylimino group, a substituted or unsubstituted pyridyl group or a substituted or unsubstituted purinyl group or R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 form a ring selected from cyclopentane, cyclohexane, cyclohexadiene, cycloheptane, cycloheptadiene, indane or fluorene, and each of the these rings may be substituted, wherein the compound of general formula (I) is added to a developing solution and wherein the blocked photographic agent releases a mercapto or an azole antifoggant, said blocked agent being present in the photographic light-sensitive material in an amount of from about 10.sup.-9 to 10.sup.-1 mol per mol of silver.
- 2. A method for processing a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material as claimed in claim 1, wherein R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are substituted with a halogen atom, a hydroxy group, an alkoxy group, an alkyl group, an aryl group, a nitro group, a carboxy group, a carbonamido group, a sulfonamido group or a methylol group.
- 3. A method for processing a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material as claimed in claim 1, wherein the blocked photographic agent is a precursor compound capable of releasing a photographically useful agent by hydrolysis in contact with alkali.
- 4. A method for processing a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material as claimed in claim 3, wherein the blocked photographic agent is a redox compound which releases a photographically useful agent by hydrolysis after the oxidation-reduction reaction during development.
- 5. A method for processing a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material as claimed in claim 3, wherein the blocked photographic agent is a precursor compound which releases a photographically useful agent by the nucleophilic attack of OH.sup.- ion and the subsequent reaction.
- 6. A method for processing a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material as claimed in claim 5, wherein the precursor compound comprises at least one of a ##STR12## group.
- 7. A method for processing a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material as claimed in claim 5, wherein the precursor compound comprises at least one of a ##STR13## group.
- 8. A method for processing a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material as claimed in claim 5, wherein the precursor compound comprises a ##STR14## group forming said photographically useful agent, by cleavage at this group.
- 9. A method for processing a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material as claimed in claim 5, wherein the precursor compound comprises at least one of a ##STR15## group.
- 10. A method for processing a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material as claimed in claim 1, wherein the blocked photographic agent releases the mercapto antifoggant.
- 11. A method for processing a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material as claimed in claim 1, wherein the blocked photographic agent releases the azole antifoggant, said agent being present in the photographic light-sensitive material in an amount of from about 10.sup.-8 to 10.sup.-1 mol per mol of silver.
- 12. A method for processing a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material as claimed in claim 1, wherein the compound represented by the general formula (I) is added to the developing solution in an amount of from about 10.sup.-3 to 1 mol per liter of the processing solution.
- 13. A method for processing a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material as claimed in claim 1, wherein the blocked photographic agent is present in a silver halide emulsion layer, a coloring material layer, a subbing layer, a protective layer, an interlayer, a filter layer, an antihalation layer, an image-receiving layer or a cover sheet layer.
- 14. A method for processing a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material as claimed in claim 1, wherein the photographic light-sensitive material further contains a color coupler.
- 15. A method for processing a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material as claimed in claim 1, wherein the oxime increases the releasing efficiency of photographically useful agent while retarding side reactions.
- 16. A method for processing a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material as claimed in claim 10, wherein the mercapto antifoggant is present in the photographic light-sensitive material in an amount of from about 10.sup.-6 to 10.sup.-2 mol per mol of silver.
- 17. A method for processing a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material as claimed in claim 1, wherein the azole antifoggant is present in the photographic light-sensitive material in an amount of from about 10.sup.-5 to 10.sup.-2 mol per mol of silver.
