Description: FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to color photographs and a process for making them. More particularly, the invention relates to color photographs having improved storage stability and a process for making such color photographs. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION When a silver halide color photographic material is imagewise exposed and developed by an aromatic amine color developing agent, dye images are formed by the reaction of dye image-forming coupler(s) (hereinafter simply referred to as coupler(s)) and the oxidation product of the color developing agent formed as the result of development. For a multicolor photographic material, a combination of a yellow coupler, a cyan coupler, and a magenta coupler is usually used. Since Fischer et al's discovery of how to conduct a color development process in 1912, the system has been strikingly improved. In particular, recently the improvements in shortening of photographic processing time, simplification of processing steps, reutilization of waste processing liquids, reduction of amounts of replenishers for processing liquids, photographic processing without using a wash step and removal of benzyl alcohol from the color developer to prevent environmental pollution, have been actively investigated. However, even with such efforts, there remain various problems. For example, there are in fact problems due to using replenishers for processing liquids in accordance with the processing amount of color photographic materials in place of preparing fresh processing liquids. That is, for color photographic processing, a color developer, a stop liquid, a bleach liquid and a fix liquid (or a bleach-fix liquid or a blix liquid) are usually used but the compositions for these processing liquids change due to decomposition of the processing components, such as a developing agent, during processing for a long period of time, since the processing temperature is generally maintained at 31°C to 43°C to speed up processing, oxidation of the processing components by contact with air, accumulation of dissolved matters of the components in color photographic materials by processing with the processing liquids, and also addition of processing liquid carried by color photograpyhic materials from the previous step to form so-called running liquids. Accordingly, replenishment for supplementing chemicals consumed by processing to each processing liquid and regeneration of each processing liquid by removing therefrom useless materials have been performed, but the aforesaid problems have not yet been satisfactorily solved by the application of these counterplans. Furthermore, in the process of reducing the amount of wash water or omitting the wash step due to a shortage of water resources or an increase of water charges, as well as due to prevention of environmental pollution, inorganic components such as thiosulfates, sulfites or metabisulfites in processing liquids and organic components such as a color developing agent are contained in or attached to color photographic materials processed. In view of the deterioration of the compositions used in processing liquids and the aforesaid problems in reducing the amount of wash water in the wash step or in omitting the wash step, it can be seen that there is a tendency to increase the amounts of components used for processing liquids which results in an increase in the amounts carried in the color photographic materials after development. On the other hand, with regard to couplers, the development of couplers giving clear cyan, magenta, and yellow dyes having less side absorptions for obtaining good color reproducibility and also the development of high-active couplers for completing color development in a short period of time have been developed. Furthermore, the development of various additives for obtaining good performance of these couplers has been also found. However, such coupler performance causes the color photograph to have reduced storage stability, because these couplers react with the processing liquid components remaining in the color photographic materials after processing. It is known that when processing liquid components remain in a color photographic material after processing, an aromatic primary amine compound, which is a color developing agent, and the compounds induced from the amine compound reduce the fastness of color images under the influence of light, moisture or oxygen, or are converted into colored substance by self-coupling thereof or reaction with coexisting materials to cause a so-called "stain" during storage of the color photographic materials thus processed for a long period of time. This is a fatal defect for color photographs. On the other hand and apart from this, various investigations into preventing the deterioration of color images formed and preventing the formation of stain have also been made. For example, it has been proposed to selectively use couplers showing less fading property, use fading preventing agents for preventing fading of color photographs by light, and use ultraviolet absorbents for preventing the deterioration of color images by ultraviolet rays. In these proposals, the effect of preventing the deterioration of color images by the use of fading preventing agents is large and as such fading preventing agents, there are, for example, hydroquinones, hindered phenols, tocopherols, chromans, coumarans, and the compounds formed by etherifying the phenolic hydroxy groups of these compounds as described in U.S. Patents 3,935,016, 3,930,866, 3,700,455, 3,764,337, 3,432,300, 3,573,050, 4,254,216, British Patents 2,066,975, 1,326,889 and Japanese Patent Publication No. 30462/76. These compounds may have an effect of preventing fading and discoloration of dye images, but since the effect is yet insufficient for meeting the customers' requirement for high image quality and the use of these compounds changes the hue, forms fogs, causes poor dispersibility, and causes fine crystals after coating silver halide emulsions, overall excellent effects for color photographs have not yet been obtained by the use of these compounds. Furthermore and recently, for preventing the occurrence of stain, the effectiveness of certain amine compounds are proposed in U.S. Patents 4,463,085, 4,483,918 and Japanese Patent Application (OPI) Nos. 218445/84, 229557/84 (the term "OPI" as used herein refers to a "published unexamined Japanese patent application"). However, by the use of these proposed compounds, a satisfactory effect for preventing the occurrence of stain has not yet been obtained. EP-A-0228655 (relevant with respect to Art. 54(3) EPC) discloses a silver halide color photographic material comprising a support having provided thereon at least one silver halide emulsion layer having dispersed therein lipophilic fine particles containing an image dye forming lipophilic coupler, said lipophilic fine particles further containing at least one specific lipophilic compound having a water-solubility of not more than 1% by weight at 25°C. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of this invention is, therefore, to provide a process for making color photographs in which occurrence of discoloring of the white background is prevented even when the color photographs are stored or exhibited for a long period of time after imagewise exposing, color developing, bleaching, and fixing (or blixing) silver halide color photographic material. Another object of this invention is to provide color photographs in which the deterioration of the dye images thereof by the remaining color developing agent carried over therein during color development, bleaching, and fixing (or blixing) is prevented. A still other object of this invention is to provide a color image-forming process wherein the occurrence of color image deterioration and stain caused by the oxidation product of an aromatic amine color developing agent remaining in the color photographic material even when due to processing with processing liquid providing a large amount of processing liquid component(s) to the color photographic material, such as processing liquids in a running state, a processing liquid of reduced amount of wash water or processing liquid without employing wash step, a color developer containing substantially no benzyl alcohol, or other processing liquids imposing a burden on color development, and also the occurrence of side reactions caused by the occurrence of them are prevented. As the result of various investigations, the inventors have discovered that the above-described objects can be effectively attained by incorporating a storage stability improving compond forming a chemically inert and substantially colorless compound by combining with the aforesaid oxidation product of an aromatic amine color developing agent in a color photographic light-sensitive material comprising a support having coated thereon silver halide emulsion layer(s) containing color image-forming coupler(s) forming dye(s) by the oxidative coupling reaction with the aromatic amine color developing agent, the color photographic light-sensitive material being, after imagewise exposure, color developed, bleached, or fixed (or blixed), such incorporation to the light-sensitive material being carried out upon producing the light-sensitive material or at any stage of before, during, or after the color development. This invention has been accomplished based on this discovery. That is, according to this invention, there is provided a color photograph comprising a support having provided thereon at least one photographic layer, wherein said at least one photographic layer contains a storage stability improving compound which forms a chemically inert and substantially colorless compound by combining chemically with the oxidation product of an aromatic amine color developing agent remaining in said color photograph after color development processing, wherein said storage stability improving compound is a compound represented by formula (II) wherein M represents a hydrogen atom, or an atom or an atomic group forming an inorganic or organic salt; and R 10, R 11, R 12 , R 13 and R 14 which may be the same or different, represent a hydrogen atom; an aliphatic group; an aromatic group; a heterocyclic group; a halogen atom; -SR 15 ,-OR 15 , and -NR 15 R 16 in which R 15 and R 16 , which may be the same or different in the case of -NR 15 R 16 , represent a hydrogen atom, an aliphatic group, an alkoxy group , or an aromatic group; an acyl group; an alkoxycarbonyl group; an aryloxycarbonyl group;a sulfonyl group; a sulfonamido group; a sulfamoyl group; a ureido group; a urethane group; a carbamoyl group, a sulfo group; a carboxy group; a nitro group; a cyano group; an alkoxyallyl group; an aryloxyallyl group; a sulfonyloxy group; in which R 15 is defined as R 15 above; or a formyl group, wherein the sum of Hammet's σ value for the -SO 2 M group is at least 0.5.

In addition to the above, a fading preventing agent (A-69) below is preferably used in the present invention. A-69 CH 2 =CH 2 OC 14 H 29 (n) The compound shown by formula (VIII) or (IX) and the compound (A-69) described above is added to a photographic emulsion layer in an amount of from 10 mol% to 400 mol%, preferably from 30 mol% to 300 mol%, relative to the amount of coupler in the emulsion layer. On the other hand, the metal complex is added in an amount of from 1 mol% to 100 mol%, preferably from 3 mol% to 40 mol%, relative to the amount of coupler in the emulsion layer. When the color photographic material which is processed by the process of this invention contains dye(s) and ultraviolet absorbent(s) in the hydrophilic colloid layer(s) thereof, these additives may be mordanted by a cationic polymer. The color photographic material may further contain a hydroquinone derivative, an aminophenol derivative, a gallic acid derivative or an ascorbic acid derivative as color fog preventing agents. The color photographic material in this invention may contain ultraviolet absorbent(s) in the hydrophilic colloid layer as described above. Examples of the ultraviolet absorbent are aryl group-substituted benzotriazole compounds (e.g., those described in U.S. Patent 3,533,794), 4-thiazolidone compounds (e.g., those described in U.S. Patent 3,314,794, 3,352,681), benzophenone compounds (e.g., those described in Japanese Patent Application (OPI) No. 2784/71), cinnamic acid ester compounds (e.g., those described in U.S. Patents 3,705,805, 3,707,375), butadiene compounds (e.g., those described in U.S. Patent 4,045,229), and benzoxidole compounds (e.g., those described in U.S. Patent 3,700,455). Furthermore, ultraviolet absorptive couplers (e.g., α-naphtholic cyan dye-forming couplers) or ultraviolet absorptive polymers may be used as ultraviolet absorbents. These ultraviolet absorbents may be mordanted and added to specific layers. The color photographic materials for use in this invention may contain water-soluble dyes as filter dyes or for irradiation prevention or other various purposes in the hydrophilic colloid layers. Examples of such water-soluble dyes are oxonol dyes, hemioxonol dyes, styryl dyes, merocyanine dyes, cyanine dyes, and azo dyes. In these dyes, oxonol dyes, hemioxonol dyes, and merocyanine dyes are useful. As the binder or protective colloids which can be used for the emulsion layers of the color photographic material for use in this invention, gelatin is advantageously used but other hydrophilic colloids can be used alone or together with gelatin. As gelatin, limed gelatin or acid-treated gelatin can be used in this invention. Details of the production of gelatin are described in Arther Weiss, The Macromolecular Chemistry of Gelatin , published by Academic Press, 1964. For the silver halide emulsion layers of the color photographic materials for use in this invention, silver bromide, silver iodobromide, silver iodochlorobromide, silver chlorobromide, or silver chloride is used as the silver halide. There is no particular restriction on the mean grain size (represented by the diameter of the grains when the grain is spherical or similar to spherical, and represented by the mean value based on the projected area using, in the case of cubic grains, the long side length as the grain size) of the silver halide grians in the photographic emulsions but it is preferred that the grain size be smaller than 2 µm. The grain size distribution may be narrow or broad, but a monodispersed silver halide emulsion having a coefficient of variation less than 15% is preferred. The silver halide grains in the photographic emulsion layers may have a regular crystal form such as cubic or octahedral, or an irregular crystal form such as ring or tabular, or may have a composite form of these crystal forms. In these emulsions, the use of a photographic emulsion of regular crystal form is preferred. Also, a silver halide emulsion wherein tabular silver halide grains having an aspect ratio (length/thickness) of at least 5 accounts for at least 50% of the total projected area of the silver halide grains may be used in this invention. The silver halide grains for use in this invention may have a composition or structure inside the grain which is different from that on the surface layer thereof. Also, the silver halide grains may be of the type that latent images are formed mainly on the surface thereof or of the type that latent images are formed mainly in the inside thereof. During the formation or physical ripening of the silver halide grains, a cadmium salt, a zinc salt, a thallium salt, an iridium salt or a complex salt thereof, a rhodium salt or a complex salt thereof, an iron salt or a complex salt thereof may exist in the system. Silver halide emulsions are usually chemically sensitized. The silver halide emulsions for use in this invention can further contain various kinds of compounds for preventing the occurrence of fog during the production, storage and/or processing of color photographic materials or for stabilizing photographic performance. Examples of such compounds include the compound known as antifoggants or stabilizers such as azoles (e.g., benzothiazolium salts, nitroimidazoles, nitrobenzimidazoles, chlorobenzimidazoles, bromobenzimidazoles, mercaptothiazoles, mercaptobenzothiazoles, mercaptobenzimidazoles, mercaptothiadiazoles, aminotriazoles, benzotriazoles, nitrobenzotriazoles, mercaptotetrazoles (in particular, 1-phenyl-5 -mercaptotetrazole), mercaptopyrimidines, mercaptotriazines; thioketo compounds such as oxazolinethione; azaindenes (e.g., triazaindenes, tetraazaindenes, in particular, 4-hydroxy-substituted (1,3,3a,7)tetraazaindene), pentaazaindenes; benzenethiosulfonic acid, benzenesulfinic acid and benzenesulfonic acid amide. The present invention can be applied to a multilayer multicolor photographic materials having at least two photographic emulsion layers each having different spectral sensitivity on a support. A multilayer natural color photographic material usually has at least one red-sensitive emulsion layer, at least one green-sensitive emulsion layer and at least one blue-sensitive emulsion layer on a support. The disposition order of these photographic emulsion layers can be optionally selected according to the purpose for which the photographic material is used. Usually, a red-sensitive emulsion layer contains a cyan-forming coupler, a green-sensitive emulsion layer contains a magenta-forming coupler, and a blue-sensitive emulsion layer contains a yellow-forming coupler. As the support for use in this invention, there are, for example, cellulose nitrate films, cellulose acetate films, cellulose acetate butyrate films, cellulose acetate propionate films, polystyrene films, polyethylene terephthalate films, polycarbonate films, laminates of these films, thin glass films and papers. Paper coated with baryta or an α-olefin polymer, in particular, a polymer of an α-olefin having 2 to 10 carbon atoms, such as polyethylene, polypropylene or ethylene-butene copolymer, and a support such as a plastic film having a roughened surface or improving the adhesion with other polymers as described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 19068/72 give good results. Also, a resin hardenable by the irradiation of ultraviolet rays can be used. According to the purpose of the color photographic material, a transparent support or an opaque support may be used. Also, a colored transparent support containing dyes or pigments can also be used. As an opaque support for use in this invention, there are papers which are opaque by themselves and transparent films which were opacified by the incorporation of dyes or pigments such as titanium oxide. Also, a plastic film surface-treated by the method described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 19068/72 and further papers or plastic films rendered completely light shielding by the addition of carbon black or dyes can be used. A subbing layer is usually formed on a support. Furthermore, for improving the adhesive property, a pretreatment such as corona discharging treatment, ultraviolet treatment or flame treatment may be applied to the surface of the support. As a color photographic light-sensitive material which can be used for making the color photograph of this invention, an ordinary color photographic light-sensitive material, in particular, a color photographic light-sensitive material for color prints is preferred, and color photographic light-sensitive materials of color photographic systems (in particular, color diffusion transfer photographic systems) described in U.S. Patents 3,227,550, 3,227,551, 3,227,552, and U.S. Temporary Published Patent B351,673 may be used. For obtaining dye images by a conventional photographic process, it is necessary to apply color photographic processing after imagewise exposure. Color photographic processing fundamentally includes the steps of color development, bleach and fix. In this case, two steps of bleach and fix may be performed by one step (bleach-fix or blix). Furthermore, a combination of color development, first fix, and blix can be employed in this invention. The color photographic process may include, if necessary, various steps of pre-hardening, neutralization, first development (black and white development), image stabilization or wash. The processing temperature is generally 18°C or more, and preferably in the range from 20°C to 60°C. In particular, recently the range of from 30°C to 60°C is used. A color developer is an aqueous alkaline solution containing an aromatic primary amino color developing agent having a pH of at least 8, preferably from 9 to 12. After the fix or blix step, the "wash process" is usually performed, but a simple so-called "stabilization process" may be substituted in place of the wash process substantially without employing a wash step. Preferred examples of the aromatic primary amino color developing agent are p-phenylenediamine derivatives and specific examples thereof are shown below. D-1 N,N-Diethyl-p-phenylenediamine D-2 2-Amino-5-diethylaminotoluene D-3 2-Amino-5-(N-ethyl-N-laurylamino)toluene D-4 4-(N-Ethyl-N-(β-hydroxyethyl)amino)aniline D-5 2-Methyl-4-[4-N-ethyl-N-(β-hydroxyethyl)amino]-aniline D-6 N-Ethyl-N-(β-methanesulfonamidoethyl)-3-methyl-4-aminoaniline D-7 N-(2-Amino-5-diethylaminophenylethyl)methanesulfonamide D-8 N,N-Dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine D-9 4-Amino-3-methyl-N-ethyl-N-methoxyethylaniline D-10 4-Amino-3-methyl-N-ethyl-N-β-ethoxyethyl D-11 4-Amino-3-methyl-N-ethyl-N-β-butoxyethylaniline Also, these p-phenylenediamine derivatives may be in the form of salts thereof, such as sulfates, hydrochlorides, sulfites or p-toluenesulfonates. The aforesaid compounds are described in U.S. Patents 2,193,015, 2,552,241, 2,566,271, 2,592,364, 3,656,950 and 3,698,525. The amount of the aromatic primary amine color developing agent is from 0.1 g to 20 g, and preferably from 0.5 g to 10 g per liter of color developer. The processing temperature fo the color developer is preferably from 30°C to 50°C, and more preferably from 33°C to 42°C. Also, the amount of a replenisher for the color developer is from 30 ml to 2,000 ml, and preferably from 30 ml to 1,500 ml per square meter of color photographic material. The amount of the replenisher is, however, preferably as low as possible from the viewpoint of reducing the amount of waste liquid. Also, when benzyl alcohol exists in the color developer, the amount thereof is preferably less than 2.0 ml/liter, and more preferably less than 0.5 ml/liter. A color developer containing no benzyl alcohol is most preferred. The time for color development is preferably within 2 minutes and 30 seconds, more preferably from 10 seconds to 2 minutes and 30 seconds, and most preferably from 45 seconds to 2 minutes. The following examples are intended to illustrate the present invention. Unless otherwise indicated herein, all parts, percents and ratios are by weight. EXAMPLE 1 After dissolving in 20 ml of tricresyl phosphate and 20 ml of ethyl acetate 5 g of a dye (hereinafter, is referred to dye (C-1) obtained by an oxidative coupling reaction of cyan coupler (C-1) and 4-amino-3-methyl-N- ethyl-N-β-(methanesulfonamido)ethylaniline, the solution was dispersed by emulsification in 80 g of an aqueous gelatin solution containing 8 ml of an aqueous solution of 1% sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate. Then, sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate was added to the emulsified dispersion as a coating aid and the dispersion was coated on a paper support, both surfaces of which had been coated with polyethylene. The coated amount of the dye was selected so that the density value of 1.0 was obtained by Macbeth densitometer RD-514 type (Status AA Filter). Then, a gelatin protective layer (gelatin present in an amount of 1 g/m 2 ) was formed on the aforesaid layer to provide Sample A. In the same manner as above using the combinations shown in Table 1 below, Samples A-1 to A-11 were also prepared. Each sample thus prepared was stored in the dark at room temperature for 2 months. Then, for determining light fastness of the samples, each sample was subjected to a fading test for 500 hours by means of a xenon tester (100,000 lux) using an ultraviolet absorption filter to filter out light of wavelengths shorter than 400 nm (made by Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd.) and then the dye residual percentage was measured. The results obtained are shown in Table 1. Sample Dye Ethylanilin Amount (mol% relative to dye) Additive (amount, mol% relative to dye) Dye residual percentage A C-1 - - 56% A-1 " 20 - 40% A-2 " " (II-1) 50 56% A-3 C-14 - - 34% A-4 " 20 - 23% A-5 " " (II-7) 50 36% A-6 " " Comparison Compound A 50 25% A-7 " " Compound B 50 26% A-8 " " Compound C 50 19% A-9 " " (II-23) 50 38% A-10 " " (II-24) 50 38% A-11 " " (II-25) 50 36% As shown in Table 1 above, it can be seen that the deterioration of the fastness of the color photographic material by a color developing agent remaining in the color photographic material is prevented by the incorporation of the compound of formula (II) in the color photographic material. Furthermore, this effect could not be obtained by using known fading preventing agents. EXAMPLE 2 By following the same procedure as Example 1 except that the dye (C-1) in Sample A was replaced with a dye obtained by the oxidative coupling reaction of magenta coupler (M-1) and 4-amino-3-methyl-N-ethyl-N-β-(methanesulfonamido)ethylaniline, Sample B was prepared. Furthermore, by the same manner as above, Samples (B-1) and (B-4) to (B-20) were prepared using the combinations as shown in Table 2 below. The samples were stored in the dark at room temperature for 2 months as in Example 1. Each sample was then subjected to a fading test by means of a xenon tester for 200 hours and the dye residual percentage was measured. The results thus obtained are shown in Table 2. Sample Dye Ethylaniline Amount (mol% relative to dye) Additive (amount, mol% relative to dye) Dye residual percentage B M-1 - - 49% B-1 " 20 - 21% B-4 " " Compound A 50 22% B-5 " " Compound B 50 27% B-6 M-6 - - 47% B-7 " 20 - 25% B-8 " " (II-8) 50 48% B-9 M-16 - - 39% B-10 " 20 - 22% B-11 " " (II-1) 50 38% B-12 M-31 - - 45% B-13 " 20 - 23% B-14 " " (II-10) 50 45% B-15 " " Compound D 50 24% B-16 " " Compound E 50 31% B-17 " " Compound F 50 33% B-18 " " (II-23) 50 43% B-19 " " (II-24) 50 46% B-20 " " (II-25) 50 44% As shown in Table 2 above, it can be seen that the fastness of the dye in the color photographic material is reduced by the oxidation product of a color developing agent remaining in the color photographic material but the compound of formula (II) has the remarkable effect of preventing the deterioration of images by the oxidation product of a color developing agent. This effect could not be obtained by using the known compounds. EXAMPLE 3 By following the same procedure as in Example 1 except that the dye (C-1) of Sample A was replaced with a dye obtained by the coupling reaction of yellow coupler (Y-35) and 4-amino-3-methyl-N-ethyl-N-β-(methanesulfonamido)ethylaniline, Sample C was prepared. Also, in the same manner as above, Samples C-1 to C-5 and C-7 to C-11 were prepared using the combinations shown in Table 3 below. These samples were stored in the dark at room temperature for 2 months as in Example 1. Then, for testing light fastness, each sample was subjected to a fading test by a xenon tester for 800 hours in the same manner as in Example 1. Also, for determining heat resistance, the sample was stored in the dark at 100°C for 500 hours. The dye residual percentages are shown in Table 3 below. Sample Dye Ethylaniline* Amount (mol% relative to dye Additive (amount, mol% relative to dye Dye residual percentage Xe Light (800 hrs.) 100°C (500 hrs.) C Y-35 - - 65 89 C-1 " 20 - 56 81 C-2 " " (II-4) 50 66 88 C-3 " " (II-11) 50 67 87 C-4 Y-38 - - 63 88 C-5 " 20 - 55 83 C-7 " " Compound A 50 54 85 C-8 " " Compound B 50 55 82 C-9 " " (II-23) 50 63 89 C-10 " " (II-24) 50 64 88 C-11 " " (II-25) 50 65 87 Comparison examples: C, C-1, C-4, C-5, C-7 and C-8 Present Invention: C-2, C-3 and C-9 to C-11 As shown in Table 3 above, it can be seen that by the addition of the compound of formula (II), the fastness to light and heat is greatly improved and the occurrence of fading by the oxidation product of a color developing agent remaining in the color photographic material can be prevented. EXAMPLE 4 A multilayer color photographic paper in which Layer 1 (lowermost layer) to Layer 7 (uppermost layer) have the layer composition shown below on a paper support in which both surfaces thereof were coated with polyethylene was prepared. In addition, the polyethylene coating on the emulsion layer-carrying side of the support contained a white pigment such as titanium dioxide and a bluish dye such as ultramarine blue.

The compounds used for preparing the aforesaid color photographic material were as follows. Solvent (a): ((iso)C 9 H 19 O) 3 P=O Furthermore, the following dyes were used for the emulsion layers as irradiation preventing dyes. The foresaid sample wherein the magenta coupler was omitted from Layer 3, the cyan coupler was omitted from Layer 5, and and also yellow coupler (Y-35) was used as the yellow coupler for Layer 1 was denoted as Sample D. Also, in the same manner as above, except that the yellow coupler for Layer 1 was changed as shown in Table 4 below and the additive for Layer 1 was changed as shown in Table 4, Samples D-1 to D-11 were prepared. In these samples, Samples D-1, D-7, and D-9 were samples of this invention and other samples were comparison samples. The samples thus prepared were exposed through an optical wedge and processed by the following steps to provide color images. Process A By using a Fuji Color Roll Processor FMPP100 (partially improved) (made by Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd.), running processing was performed under the following conditions. Step Time Temp. Tank Volume Replenisher Amount (ml/m 2 ) Color Development 45 s 35°C 88 liter 150 Blix 45 " 35°C 35 " 50 Rinse (1) 20 " 35°C 17 " - Rinse (2) 20 " 35°C 17 " - Rinse (3) 20 " 35°C 17 " 250 In the rinse step, the replenisher was supplied to rinse tank (3), the overflow liquid from tank (3) was introduced into the lower portion of rinse tank (2), the overflow liquid from rinse tank (2) was introduced into the lower portion of rinse tank (1), and the overflown liquid from rinse tank (1) was wasted (3-tank countercurrent system). In addition, the amount of the processing liquid carried by color photographic paper from the pre-bath was 25 ml per square meter of paper. The compositions of each tank liquid and replenisher used were as follows. Color Developer Tank Liquid Replenisher Water 800 ml 800 ml Diethylenetriaminepentaacetic Acid 3.0 g 3.0 g Benzyl Alcohol 15 ml 17 ml Diethylene Glycol 10 ml 10 ml Sodium Sulfite 2.0 g 2.5 g Potassium Bromide 0.5 g - Sodium Carbonate 30 g 35 g N-Ethyl-N-(β-methanesulfon- amidoethyl)-3-methyl-4-amino-aniline sulfate 5.0 g 7.0 g Hydroxylamine Sulfate 4.0 g 4.5 g Fluorescent Whitening Agent 1.0 g 1.5 g Water to make 1,000 ml 1,000 ml pH 10.10 10.50 Blix Liquid Tank Liquid Replenisher Water 400 ml 400 ml Ammonium Thiosulfate (70% soln.) 150 ml 300 ml Sodium Sulfite 12 g 25 g Iron (III) Ammonium Ethylenediaminetetraacetate 55 g 110 g Disodium Ethylenediaminetetracetate 5 g 10 g Water to make 1,000 ml 1,000 ml pH (25°C) 6.70 6.50 Rinse Liquid The tank solution and the replenisher had the same composition. Ethylenediamine-N,N,N',N'-tetra- methylenephosphonic Acid 0.3 g Benzotriazole 1.0 g Water to make 1,000 ml pH adjusted with sodium hydroxide 7.5 Process B Step Time Tank Volume Replenisher Amount (ml/m 2 ) Color Development 45 s 88 liter 150 Blix 2 min. 35 " 350 Rinse (1) 1 min. 17 " - Rinse (2) 1 min. 17 " - Rinse (3) 1 min. 17 " 1300 The compositions of the processing liquids and the replenishers were same as those in Process A described above. Then, for each of the color photographic papers processed by each of the aforesaid processes, the yellow reflective density of the non-imaged portion (background portion) was measured one hour after processing, and, furthermore, the color photographic materials thus processed were allowed to stand for 7 days at 80°C (10 to 15% RH) and then for 8 days at 80°C, 70% (RH), and the yellow reflective density of the non-imaged portion was then measured again. The results obtained are shown in Table 4 below. As shown in Table 4 above, it can be seen that in process B wherein the processing times for wash and blix are long and the amounts of the replenishers were sufficient, there is no yellow stain problem after processing but in Process A wherein the amounts of replenishers are small, yellow stain occurs. However, by the addition of the compound of formula (II), the occurrence of yellow stain can be prevented. On the other hand, in the case of using the comparison compounds known as conventional stain preventing agents, the occurrence yellow stain cannot be prevented. EXAMPLE 5 By forming Layer 1 to Layer 7 as described in Example 4 on a paper support, both surfaces of which had been coated with polyethylene, a color photographic paper was prepared. The sample wherein the yellow coupler was omitted from Layer 1, the cyan coupler was omitted from Layer 5, and magenta coupler (M-23) was used as the magenta coupler for Layer 3 was defined as Sample E. Also, in the same manner as above except that the magenta coupler and the additive were changed as shown in Table 5 below, Samples E-1 to E-15 were prepared. In this case, Samples E-1 to E-3, E-9, E-11, and E-13 were the samples of this invention and other samples were comparison samples. These samples were exposed through an optical wegde and processed by the following steps. In addition, in the process shown below, the developing agent and other components for processing liquid were used specifically because they were liable to remain in color photographic papers and stain was liable to occur in order to clearly demonstrate the effect of this invention. Procesing Step Temperature Time Color Development 33°C 3 min. 30 s Blix 33°C 1 min. 30 s Wash 20 - 25°C (non-stirring) 1 min. Drying 50 - 80°C 2 min. The compositions of the processing liquids were as follows. Color Developer Trisodium Nitrilotriacetate 2.0 g Benzyl Alcohol 15 ml Diethylene Glycol 10 ml Sodium Sulfite 0.2 g Potassium Bromide 0.5 g Hydroxylamine Sulfate 3.0 g 4-Amino-3-methyl-N-ethyl-N-[(β- (methanesulfonamido)ethyl]-p- phenylenediamine Sulfate 6.5 g Sodium Carbonate monohydrate 30 g Water to make 1,000 ml pH 10.1 Blix Liquid Color Developer shown above 400 ml Ammonium thiosulfate (70 wt%) 150 ml Sodium Sulfite 12 g Iron Sodium Ethylenediaminetetraacetate 36 g Disodium Ethylenediaminetetraacetate 4 g Water to make 1,000 ml pH adjusted with 1N sulfuric acid 7.0 The liquids having the aforesaid compositions were used after aerating them for one hour. In addition, the aforesaid blix liquid composition was prepared specifically to create a bad situation of attaching the color developer onto color photographic papers in running state and carrying them over in a blix liquid in a large amount. Then, for each sample thus processed, a magenta reflection density (stain) at the non-imaged portion was measured using green light and using a self-recording type densitometer made by Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd. one hour after processing, and also the magenta reflection density (stain) was measured again after allowing each sample to stand for 3 days at 80°C, 70% RH, and after allowing each sample to stand for 50 days at room temperature. The results, (i.e., the increase of stain after one hour since processing) are shown in Table 5 below. The comparison compounds used in this example were as follows. Comparison Compound (J) C 12 H 25 N(CH 2 CH 2 OH) 2 A compound described in Japanese Patent Application (OPI) No. 229557/84. As shown in Table 5 above, it can be seen that in the case of using the compound of formula (II), the stain preventing effect with the passage of time is remarkable as compared to the known comparison compounds. EXAMPLE 6 A color photographic paper having Layer 1 to Layer 7 of the layer structure as shown in Example 4 on a paper support, both surfaces of which had been coated with polyethylene, was prepared. The sample wherein the yellow coupler was omitted from Layer 1, the magenta coupler was omitted from Layer 3, and cyan coupler (C-2) was used as the cyan coupler for Layer 5 was defined as Sample F. In the same manner as above, except that the cyan coupler and the additive were changed as shown in Table 6 below, Samples F-1 to F-16 were prepared. In this case, Samples F-1, F-2, F-8, and F-10 were the samples of this invention and other samples were comparison samples. Each of the samples was exposed and processed as in Example 5. For each sample thus processed, a cyan reflection density at the non-images portion was measured after processing by using a red light and using a self-recording type densitometer made by Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd. and also the cyan reflection density at the non-imaged portion was measured again after allowing the sample to sand for 3 days at 80°C, 70% RH and after allowing the sample to stand for 5 days at 80°C and dry state (10 to 15% RH). The results obtained are shown in Table 6 below. As shown in Table 6 above, it can be seen that the compound of formula (II) shows a remarkable ability to prevent the occurrence of stain with the passage of time, which cannot be attained using the conventional techniques shown above. EXAMPLE 7 A color photographic paper having Layer 1 to Layer 7 of the layer structure as in Example 4 on a paper support, both surfaces of which had been coated with polyethylene, was prepared. The sample wherein yellow coupler (Y-35) was used as the yellow coupler for Layer 1, magenta coupler (M-23) was used as the magenta couupler for Layer 3, and cyan couplers (C-2) and (C-14) at a 1:1 mol ratio were used as the cyan coupler for Layer 5 was defined as Sample G. By following the same test procedure as above, except that the magenta coupler for Layer 3 and the additive for the layer were changed as shown in Table 7 below, Sample G-1 to G-3 were prepared. In this case, Samples G-1 and G-3 were the samples of this invention and Samples G and G-2 were comparison samples. Each of the samples was exposed through an optical wedge and processed using the following steps. Processing Step (at 33°C) Time Color Development 3 min. 30 s Blix 1 min. 30 s Wash 3 min. Drying (50°C - 80°C) 2 min. The compositions for the processing liquids were as follows. Color Developer Benzyl Alcohol 12 ml Diethylene Glycol 5 ml Potassium Carbonate 25 g Sodium Chloride 0.1 g Sodium Bromide 0.5 g Anhydrous Sodium Sulfite 2 g Hydroxylamine Sulfate 2 g Fluorescent Whitening Agent 1 g N-Ethyl-N-β-methanesulfonamido- ethyl-3-methyl-4-aminoaniline Sulfate 4 g Water to make 1 liter pH adjusted with sodium hydroxide 10.2 Blix Liquid Ammonium thiosulfate 124.5 g Sodium metabisulfite 13.3 g Anhydrous Sodium Sulfite 2.7 g EDTA Ferric Ammonium Salt 65 g Color Developer 100 ml pH adjusted to the range of from 6.7 to 6.8 Water to make 1 liter The compositions of the processing liquids used were almost in equilibrium state since the processing was performed while performing normal replenishing using an ordinary roller transport type processer. Then, for each sample thus processed, a magenta reflection density (stain) at the non-imaged portion was measured one hour after processing and the magenta reflection density (stain) at the non-imaged portion was measured again after allowing the samples to stand for 3 days at 70°C and 70% RH and after allowing the samples to stand for 50 days at room temperature. The increase of magenta stain from the time after one hour since processing is shown in Table 7 below. As shown in Table 7, it can be seen that the compounds of formula (II) show a remarkable ability to prevent the occurrence of stain with the passage of time and, in particular, when the compositions for the processing liquids are not changed, the compound shows sufficient stain prevention. EXAMPLE 8 A color photographic paper (Sample H) was prepared as follows.

In this case, Samples H-1, H-3, and H-4 were samples of this invention and Samples H and H-2 were comparison samples. The samples thus prepared were exposed through an optical wedge and processed by the following processing steps. Processing Step First Development (Black and White) 38°C 1 min. 15 s Wash 38°C 1 min. 30 s Reversal Exposure >100 lux >1 min. Color Development 38°C 2 min. 15 s Wash 38°C 45 s Blix 38°C 2 min. 00 s Wash 38°C 2 min. 15 s The compositions for the processing liquids used were as follows.

The increase in stain from one hour after processing is shown in Table 8. As shown in Table 8 above, it can be seen that the occurrence of stain with the passage of time is greatly prevented by the compound of formula (II) and the effect is not reduced when the layer structures of the color photogrpahic materials and the compositions for processing liquids are changed. EXAMPLE 9 The following First layer to Fourteenth layer were coated consecutively on a paper support in which both side thereof were laminated with polyethylene to prepare color photographic light-sensitive material Samples I and I-1 to I-4 and I-7 to I-11.

An aqueous solution of potassium bromide and an aqeuous solution of silver nitrate were added simultaneously to a gelatin aqueous solution containing 0.3 g/molAg of 3,4-dimethyl-1,3-thiazoline-2-thion over about 20 minutes at 75°C while vigorously stirring, to obtain a monodispersed octahedral silver bromide emsulsion having an average grain size of 0.40 µm. 6 mg/molAg of sodium thiosulfate and 7 mg/molAg of chloroauric acid tetrahydrate were added thereto and the emulsion was heated to 75°C for 80 minutes to accomplish chemical sensitization. While thus-obtained silver bromide emulsion was used as core particles, the particles were further grown under the same precipitation condition as above to obtain a monodispersed octahedral core/shell type silver bromdie having an average grain size of 0.7 µm. The coefficient of variation of the grain size was about 10%. 1.5 mg/molAg of sodium thiosulfate and 1.5 mg/molAg of chloroauric acid were added to the emulsion, and the emulsion was heated to 60°C for 60 minutes to accomplish chemical sensitization, thus an inner latent image type silver halide emulsion was obtained. To each light-sensitive layer, Nucleating agent (N-I-9) and Nucleating accelerator (ExZS-1) were added in amounts of 1 × 10 -3 wt% and 1 × 10 -2 wt%, respectively, based on the amount of silver halide. To each layer, emulsifying assistant agents (Alkanol XC (Du pont) and sodium alkylbenzenesulfonate) and coating assistant agents (succinic acid ester and Magefacx F-120 (Dai Nippon Ink and Chemical Co., Ltd.)) were added. Furthermore, to the layers containing silver halide or colloidal silver, Stabilizers (Cdp-19, 20, 21) were added. Thus-obtained light-sensitive material was designated Sample I. The compounds used in Example 9 are indicated below. (Cpd-8) Polyethylacrylate (Solv-1) di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (Solv-2) trinonylphosphate (Solv-3) di(3-methylhexyl)phthalate (Solv-4) tricresylphosphate (Solv-5) dibutylphthalate (Solv-6) trioctylphosphate (H-1) 1,2-bis(vinylsulfonylacetamide)ethane Samples I-1 to I-4 and I-7 to I-11 were prepared in the same manner as in the preparation of Sample I except that the magenta coupler and (Cdp-12) in Sixth and Seventh layers were changed in the manner as in Table 9. Samples I and I-1 to I-4 and I-7 to I-11 thus-obtained above were exposed to light through an optical wedge, and then processed by the fllowing Process C.

The compositions of each processing solution were as follows. Color Developer Diethylenetriaminepentaacetic aicd 0.5 g 1-Hydroxyethylidene-1,1-disulfonic acid 0.5 g Diethylene glycol 8.0 g Benzyl alcohol 12.0 g Sodium bromide 0.7 g Sodium sulfite 2.0 g N,N-Diethylhydroxylamine 3.5 g Triethylenediamine(1,4-diazabicyclo-(2,2,2)octane) 3.5 g 3-Methyl-4-amino-N-ethyl-N-(β-ethane-sulfoneamidoethyl)aniline 6.0 g Potassium carbonate 30.0 g Fluorescent whitening agent (stilbene type) 1.0 g Pure water to make 1,000 ml pH 10.50 (pH was adjusted with potassium hydroxide or hydrochloric acid.)

Washing Water Pure water was used. The term "pure water" used herein means the water produced by processing with the ion exchanging process whereby the cation concentration and the anion concentration (except hydrogen ion and hydroxide ion) were reduced to 1 ppm or less. The magenta reflective density in the part where an image was not formed (stain) of the above exposed and processed samples was measured. Then, the samples were stored at 80°C, 70%RH for 3 days, and another samples were stored at room temperature for 80 days, then the stain of these samples was measured. The increase in magenta density based on the density 1 hour after processing was evaluated, and the results obtained are indicated in Table 9 below. In addition to the above, the samples in which the emulsions used (silver bromide) were changed to silver chlorobromide emulsions (chloride content: 0.5 to 99.5 mol%) were examined and evaluated in the same manner as above, and it was found that the superior effects similar to in Table 9 were obtained. From the above results (including those indicated in Table 9), in the samples of the present invention, the magenta stain due to the lapse of time was markedly prevented, and the antifading property against light was improved. EXAMPLE 10 A multilayer photographic printing paper Sample J was prepared. A coating solutions were prepared as follows. Preparation of the coating solution for the First Layer 10.2 g of Yellow coupler (ExY-1), 9.1 g of Yellow coupler (ExY-2), and 4.4 g of Dye image stabilizer (Cdp-12) were dissolved in 27.2 cc of ethyl acetate and 7.7 cc (8.0 g) of High boiling point solvent (Solv-5). This solution was emulsified in 185 ml of 10% gelatin aqueous solution containing 8 ml of 10% aqueous solution of sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate. Emulsions (EM1) and (EM2) described hereinafter were mixed with thus-obtained emulsion, and the gelatin concentration was adjusted whereby the composition became the following to obtain the coating solution for the First Layer. The coating solutions for the Second to Seventh Layers were prepared in the same manner as in the above. In all the coating solutions, 1-oxy-3,5-dichloro-s-triazine sodium salt was used as a gelatin hardener. The following the First to Seventh Layers were provided consecutively on a polyethylene laminated paper support in which the polyethylene on the First Layer side contained a white pigment (TiO 2 ) and a blueish pigment.

The increase in magenta density based on the density 1 hour after processing was evaluated, and the results obtained are indicated in Table 10. From the results shown in Table 10, the present invention has a marked effect in prevention of magenta stain using Process I. EXAMPLE 11 The samples prepared in Example 10 were exposed to light through an optical wedge, and processed by using Process II to Process V below. The samples thus-processed were evaluated for magenta stain in the same manner as in Example 10. In the comparative samples, increase in magenta stain was observed, but in the samples of the present invention, substantially no stain was observed.
