- 3. The processing method for a silver halide color photographic material as set forth in claim 2, wherein the content of ingredients of the bleaching-and-fixing solution in the final washing bath is not more than 1.times.10.sup.-2.
- 4. The processing method for a silver halide color photographic material as set forth in claim 1, wherein the silver halide emulsion has a deviation coefficient of not more than 20%.
- 5. The processing method for a silver halide color photographic material as in claim 4, wherein the silver halide emulsion has a deviation coefficient of not more than 15%.
- 6. The processing method for a silver halide color photographic material as in claim 1, wherein the silver halide emulsion contains silver halide grains having a cubic or tetradecahedral crystal form.
- 7. The processing method for a silver halide color photographic material as set forth in claim 1, wherein the time for the bleaching-and-fixing of said silver halide color photographic material is not more than one minute.
- 8. The processing method for a silver halide color photographic material as set forth in claim 7, wherein the time for the bleaching-and-fixing of said silver halide color photographic material ranges within 20 seconds to one minute.
- 9. The processing method for a silver halide color photographic material as set forth in claim 1, wherein the bleaching agent used in the bleaching-and-fixing step is selected from the group consisting of one or mixtures of the complexes of iron (III) with aminopolycarboxylic acids, aminopolyphosphonic acids, phosphonocarboxylic acids and organic phosphonic acids.
- 10. The processing method for a silver halide color photographic material as set forth in claim 9, wherein the bleaching agent used in said bleaching-and-fixing step contains said bleaching agent in an amount of from 0.075 mol to 2.0 mols in one liter of the bleaching-and-fixing solution.
- 11. The processing method for a silver halide color photographic material as set forth in claim 1, wherein the fixing agent used in the bleaching-and-fixing step is a thiosulfate.
- 12. The processing method for a silver halide color photographic material as set forth in claim 11, wherein the fixing agent used in said bleaching-and-fixing step contains said fixing agent in an amount of from 0.3 mols to 3 mols in one liter of the bleaching-and-fixing solution.
- 13. The processing method for a silver halide color photographic material as set forth in claim 1, wherein the time for washing ranges within 20 seconds to one minute.
- 14. The processing method for a silver halide color photographic material as set forth in claim 1, wherein the aqueous washing solution is a stabilizing solution containing an image stabilizing agent.
- 15. The processing method for a silver halide color photographic material as set forth in claim 1, wherein the aqueous washing solution is an aqueous solution containing one or more of a chelating agent, a germicide and an antifungal agent.
- 16. The processing method for a silver halide color photographic material as set forth in claim 1, wherein the color photographic material is developed by an aromatic primary amine developing agent.
- 17. The processing method for a silver halide color photographic material as set forth in claim 16, wherein the aromatic primary amine developing agent is 3-methyl-4-amino-N-ethyl-N-.beta.-methanesulfonamidoethylaniline or 3-methyl-4-amino-N-ethyl-N-.beta.-hydroxyethylaniline.
- 18. The processing method for a silver halide color photographic material as set forth in claim 16, wherein the aromatic primary amine developing agents is 3-methyl-4-amino-4-ethyl-N-.beta.-methanesulfonamidoethylaniline.
- 19. The processing method for a silver halide color photographic material as set forth in claim 1, wherein the aqueous washing solution is water.
