Abstract:
A method of forming a color image comprising:(a) imagewise exposing a silver halide color photographic material comprising a support having thereon at least three light-sensitive layers, (b) subjecting the exposed photographic material to color development at a developing temperature of 43 to 180Â° C. to form a color image, and (c) converting information of the formed color image to digital image information through an image sensor, wherein at least one light-sensitive layer of the three light-sensitive layers comprises a silver halide emulsion comprising silver halide grains including tabular grains, said tabular grains accounting for at least 50% of total grain projected area and having an average aspect ratio of at least 8, and said silver halide grains having an average selenium content of 3.0Ã—10âˆ’8 to 5.0Ã—10âˆ’6 mol per grain.
