Abstract:
A method of photographic processing and management of photographic processing solutions comprising:A) color developing an imagewise exposed color photographic silver halide material with an aqueous color developing composition comprising a color developing agent, B) without removing said color photographic silver halide material from said aqueous color developing composition, contacting said color photographic silver halide material with a photographic fixing composition comprising a photographic fixing agent, thereby forming a combined color development/fixing processing composition, C) without removing said color photographic silver halide material form said combined color development/fixing processing composition, contacting said color photographic silver halide material with a photographic bleaching composition, thereby forming a combined color development/fixing/bleaching processing composition, and D) delivering the combined color development/fixing/bleaching processing composition to a collection vessel to form a used photographic processing composition.
