Abstract:
1. A method of processing a silver halide photosensitive material comprising: processing, with a developer in which a solution physical development arises, the silver halide photosensitive material containing at least one compound selected from the group consisting of compounds of the following types 1 to 4: (Type 1) a compound capable of undergoing a one-electron oxidation to thereby form a one-electron oxidation product thereof, wherein the one-electron oxidation product is capable of releasing further two or more electrons accompanying a subsequent bond cleavage reaction; (Type 2) a compound capable of undergoing a one-electron oxidation to thereby form a one-electron oxidation product thereof, wherein the one-electron oxidation product is capable of releasing further one electron accompanying a subsequent carbon-carbon bond cleavage reaction, and the compound having, in its molecule, two or more groups adsorptive to silver halide; (Type 3) a compound capable of undergoing a one-electron oxidation to thereby form a one-electron oxidation product thereof, wherein the one-electron oxidation product is capable of releasing further one or more electrons after going through a subsequent bond forming reaction; and (Type 4) a compound capable of undergoing a one-electron oxidation to thereby form a one-electron oxidation product thereof, wherein the one-electron oxidation product is capable of releasing further one or more electrons after going through a subsequent intramolecular ring cleavage reaction.
