Abstract:
A method of forming an image, comprising the steps of:(a) providing a silver halide color photographic photosensitive material which comprises: a support having thereon a photosensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing photosensitive silver halide grains, a color developing agent, a coupler and a binder, and a non-photosensitive layer, and an antihalation layer formed between the silver halide emulsion layer and the support, or on a surface of the support at a side thereof opposite to a side thereof on which the silver halide emulsion layer is provided, wherein an antihalation dye is contained as a dispersion of solid fine particles in the antihalation layer, the dye being selected from at least one of the group consisting of (I-7) and â€ƒwherein A21 and A31 each represents 2-pyrazoline-5-one, iso-oxazoline, hydroxypyridine, pyrazolidine-dione, or barubituric acid; L21, L22 and L23 each represents a methine group; R21, R22, R31 and R32 each represents an alkyl or aryl group; R23, R24, R25, R26, R33, R34, R35 and R36 each represents a hydrogen atom or a substituent group; and r represents an integer selected from the group consisting of 0, 1 and 2, wherein R23 and R24, R21 and R23, R21 and R22 R22 and R25, R25 and R26, R23 and R34, R31 and R33, R31 and R32, R32 and R35, and R35 and R36 may optionally form a ring; (b) exposing imagewise the silver halide color photographic photosensitive material; and (c) developing, contemporaneously with or after the step of exposing, the silver halide color photographic photosensitive material in the presence of a decolorizing agent or a precursor thereof, wherein said dye has a dissociative proton or a group having a dissociative proton, which is linked to said dye directly or via a divalent linking group.
