Description: FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention concerns processing compositions for silver halide color photographic materials. More particularly, the present invention concerns processing compositions which have a bleaching ability and which contain a bleaching agent for the bleaching process after color development, and a method of processing with these compositions. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Silver halide color photographic materials (referred to hereinafter as color photosensitive materials) are processed after exposure by color development, desilvering and additional processing operations (i.e., additional processing steps) such as water washing and stabilization, for example. In the color development process, the exposed silver halide grains are reduced by the color developing agent to form silver, and the oxidant of the developing agent which is formed reacts with couplers to form the image dyes. In the subsequent desilvering process, the developed silver which has been formed in the development process is oxidized (bleached) to a silver salt by use of a bleaching agent which has an oxidizing action, and this silver salt is removed (fixed), together with the unused silver halide, with a fixing agent which forms soluble silver. Bleaching and fixing can be carried out independently as a bleaching process and a fixing process, or they can be carried out at the same time in a single process (a bleach-fixing process). Details of these processing operations have been described by James in The Theory of the Photographic Process , fourth Edition, 1977. Various supplementary processes, such as water washing processes, stabilization processes, film hardening processes and stop processes, can be carried out in addition to the above mentioned color development and desilvering processes, if desired, in order to maintain the photographic and physical quality of the dye image, or in order to maintain processing stability. The above mentioned processing operations are generally carried out using an automatic processor. In recent years, in particular, small scale automatic processors known as mini-labs have been installed in stores, and the availability of rapid processing services for the customer has become widespread. Against this sort of background, strong demands have arisen in particular in recent years for more rapid processing, and a great increase in the speed of the bleaching process has become desirable. However, the ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid ferric complex salts which have been used conventionally have a fundamental weakness in that they have a low oxidizing power, and although the use of, for example, bleaching accelerators (for example, the addition of the mercapto compounds disclosed in U.S. Patent 1,138,842) provides some improvement, the target of rapid bleaching has not been attained. Ferricyanide (red prussiate of potash), ferric chloride and bromates, for example, are known as bleaching agents with which rapid bleaching can be achieved, but environmental problems are associated with ferricyanide, handling problems such as metal corrosion occur with ferric chloride, and problems with the instability of the solution occur with bromates, so these materials are not widely used. Hence, a bleaching agent which provides rapid bleaching, which has good handling properties, and which does not have problems with disposal of the waste liquids is desirable. The 1,3-diaminopropanetetraacetic acid ferric complex salt bleaching agent has been disclosed recently as a bleaching agent which fulfills these requirements. Furthermore, carbamoyl-type chelating agent bleaching agents have been disclosed in JP-A-1-93740 (the term "JP-A" as used herein refers to a "published unexamined Japanese patent application"). However, these bleaching agents have problems in terms of performance, in that bleach fogging occurs during bleaching. The addition of buffers to the bleach has been disclosed as a means of reducing the extent of bleach fogging (see, for example, JP-A-1-213657), but the level of improvement achieved is unsatisfactory, and in the case of rapid processing where the color development is carried out in 3 minutes or less, in particular, the occurrence of pronounced bleach fogging arises because of the highly active developers which are used. Moreover, there is a problem with increased staining on storage after processing when a processing solution which has a bleaching ability comprising 1,3-diaminopropanetetraacetic acid ferric complex salt is used. Further, there is a problem with increased change of gradation due to increase in a magenta coloration at the color image portion on storage after processing when a processing solution which has a bleaching ability comprising 1,3-diaminopropanetetraacetic acid ferric complex salt is used. Also, there is a problem with a failure of color restoration due to a leuco dye which is formed by a cyan dye of the color image portion when the bleaching time is further shortened even if a processing solution which has a bleaching ability comprising 1,3-diaminopropanetetraacetic acid ferric complex salt is used. To replace these compositions and methods, improved processing compositions which have a bleaching ability and processing methods are desired. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Hence, one object of the present invention is to provide a processing composition which has good handling properties and which has no environmental problems with waste liquids, and a method of processing photosensitive materials with this composition. A second object of the present invention is to provide a processing composition which has a bleaching ability which has excellent desilvering properties, and a method of processing photosensitive materials with this composition. A third object of the present invention is to provide a processing composition which has a bleaching ability with which little bleach fogging occurs, and a method of processing photosensitive materials with this composition. A fourth object of the present invention is to provide a processing composition which has a bleaching ability which gives rise to little staining with the passage of time, and a method of processing photosensitive materials with this composition. A fifth object of the present invention is to provide a processing composition which has a bleaching ability having an excellent rapid bleaching property, an improved failure of color restoration and less changing gradation with the passage of time, and a method for processing photosensitive materials by use of the same processing composition. The above mentioned objects have been realized by a processing composition having a bleaching ability which is used for processing silver halide color photographic materials, and containing a metal chelate compound formed from the salt of a metal selected from the group consisting of Fe(III), Co(III), Mn(III), Rh(II), Rh(III), Au(II), Au(III) and Ce(IV), and at least one of a compound represented by formula (I) indicated below and a compound represented by formula (II) indicated below: wherein L 1 and L 2 each represents or X 1 and X 2 each represents an oxygen atom or a sulfur atom, R, R 1 , R 2 and R 3 each represents a hydrogen atom or an aryl or alkyl group which may be substituted, R 4 represents an aryl or alkyl group which may be substituted, or -OR 7 , R 5 and R 6 each has the same meaning as R 1 , R 7 represents an aryl or alkyl group which may be substituted, Y 1 and Y 2 each represents an arylene or alkylene group which may be substituted, and R, L 1 and L 2 may be joined together to form rings; wherein L 3 represents where X 1 , X 2 , Y 1 , Y 2 , R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 have the same meaning as in formula (I), R a , R b and R c each represents a hydrogen atom or an aryl or alkyl group which may be substituted, R a , R b , R c and L 3 may be joined together to form rings, and W represents a divalent linking group. Also, the present invention provides a method of processing in which this composition is used. According to the present invention, a silver halide color photographic material is subjected to imagewise exposure and then color developed, after which the material is processed at least with a processing solution (called a bleaching solution or bleach-fixing solution) which has a bleaching ability and which contains a compound used in the present invention, wherein the bleaching of the developed silver is carried out very rapidly and, moreover, with none of the pronounced bleach fogging which is observed with the bleaching agents with which rapid bleaching has been carried out conventionally. The effect is especially pronounced when processing with a solution which has a bleaching ability following rapid color development with a processing time of 3 minutes or less. Furthermore, the image storage properties after processing are also good, and the system is also desirable in regard to handling properties.

The compounds represented by at least one of formulae (I) and (II) are generally used in the mol ratio of at least 1.0 with respect to the metal ion. A larger value for the mol ratio is preferred in cases where the stability of the metal chelate compound is low, and the compounds are used in general in such a way that the value of the mol ratio is from 1 to 30 (preferably from 1 to 10 and more preferably from 1 to 3). The metal chelate compounds of the present invention are effective as bleaching agents in bleaching or bleach-fixing solutions when contained in amounts of from 0.05 to 1 mol per liter of the processing solution. Furthermore, a small amount may be contained in the fixer or in an intermediate bath between the color development and desilvering processes. The metal chelate compounds of the present invention are effective when contained in a processing solution which has a bleaching ability in amounts of from 0.05 to 1 mol per liter of the processing solution, particularly the amount of from 0.1 to 0.5 mol per liter of the processing solution is preferred. Other bleaching agents may be used conjointly in a processing solution which has a bleaching ability in the present invention within the range such that the effect of the present invention can be realized. Such bleaching agents include, for example, the Fe(III), Co(III) or Mn(III) chelate-based bleaching agents indicated below, peroxydisulfate, hydrogen peroxide and bromate. Compounds with which the above mentioned chelate-based bleaching agents are formed include, but are not limited to for example, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid diammonium salt, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid tetra(trimethylammonium) salt, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid tetrapotassium salt, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid tetrasodium salt, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid trisodium salt, diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid, diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid pentasodium salt, ethylenediamine-N-(β-oxyethyl)-N,N',N'-triacetic acid, ethylenediamine-N-(β-oxyethyl)-N,N',N'-triacetic acid trisodium salt, ethylenediamine-N-(β-oxyethyl)-N,N',N'-triacetic acid triammonium salt, 1,2-diaminopropanetetraacetic acid, 1,2-diaminopropanetetraacetic acid disodium salt, 1,3-diaminopropanetetraacetic acid, 1,3-diaminopropanetetraacetic acid diammonium salt, nitrilotriacetic acid, nitrilotriacetic acid trisodium salt, cyclohexanediaminetetraacetic acid, cyclohexanediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt, iminodiacetic acid, dihydroxyethylglycine, ethyl ether diaminetetraacetic acid, glycol ether diaminetetraacetic acid, ethylenediaminetetrapropionic acid, phenylenediaminetetraacetic acid, 1,3-diaminopropanol-N,N,N',N'-tetramethylenephosphonic acid, ethylenediamine-N,N,N',N'-tetramethylenephosphonic acid and 1,3-propylenediamine-N,N,N',N'-tetramethylene-phosphonic acid. The standard electron migration rate constant k s is described in detail below. The standard electron migration rate constant k s indicates the rate when a compound which generally undergoes a redox reaction exchanges an electron with an electrode which has been established at the standard redox potential of the compound. The method of obtaining k s is described below. The standard electron migration rate constant k s is obtained using the normal pulse voltametry (referred to hereinafter as NPV) method, which is widely used in general. NPV is a method of electrochemical measurement in which a pulse potential is applied to an electrode which is immersed in a solution which contains the compound which is being monitored, and the change with time in the current value obtained is observed. The method of obtaining the standard electron migration rate constant k s from the current value obtained has been outlined in New Edition Electrochemical Measurement Methods, page 40 (Electrochemical Society, 1988). In the present invention, the important point when measuring k s is that the measurement is made in gelatin. The electrode which is used for making the measurements must therefore have its surface pre-covered with a gelatin film. The actual measuring conditions are set as indicated below. Sample Concentration 100 mmol/liter Measuring solution 1 M KNO 3 0.2 M Acetic acid buffer PH 5.0 Temperature 25°C Electrode Gelatin-covered glassy carbon Here, the conditioning of the gelatin-covered glassy carbon electrode is carried out by dissolving 24.4 g of gelatin, 30 mg of Compound 1 and 10 mg of Compound 2 in 1 liter of water, introducing 10 µℓ of the resulting solution with a microsyringe onto a commercial glassy carbon electrode (diameter: 6 mm, manufactured by Nichiatsu Keisoku K.K.) and drying for 24 hours.

Examples of the organic acid which can be used in the present invention include formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, glycolic acid, monochloroacetic acid, monobromoacetic acid, monochloropropionic acid, lactic acid, pyruvic acid, allylic acid, butyric acid, isobutyric acid, pivalic acid, aminobutyric acid, valeric acid, isovaleric acid, benzoic acid, chloro or hydroxy mono-substituted benzoic acid, monobasic acid of nicotinic acid, amino acid compounds such as asparagine, aspartic acid, alanine, arginine, ethionine, glycine, glutamine, cystine, serine, methionine and leucine; dibasic acids such as oxalic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, glutaric acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, oxaloacetic acid, phthalic acid, isophthalic acid and terephthalic acid; tribasic acids such as citric acid; sulfonic acids, sulfinic acids, imides, and aromatic sulfonamide. In the present invention, among the above organic acids, the organic acids having a pKa of preferably from 1.5 to 6.5 and more preferably from 2.0 to 5.5 are preferably used. Among the above organic acids having the above pKa, a monobasic acid is preferably used and acetic acid and/or glycolic acid are particularly preferably used. In the present invention, the amount of the organic acid used is preferably 0.05 mol or more, more preferably from 0.1 to 3.0 mol, and most preferably from 0.3 to 2.0 mol, per liter of the processing solution having a bleaching ability and the replenisher thereof. Also, in the present invention, two kinds or more of the above organic acids may be used in combination. Further, the salt of the above organic acids and an inorganic acid may be simultaneously used in place of the above organic acids. The processing solutions which have a bleaching ability in accordance with the present invention preferably contain, in addition to the bleaching agents, halides such as chloride, bromide or iodide as rehalogenating agents for accelerating the oxidation of the silver. The amount of rehalogenating agent is from 0.1 to 2 mol/liter, and preferably from 0.3 to 1.5 mol/ liter. Furthermore, organic ligands which form sparingly soluble silver salts may be added instead of halides. The halide can be added, for example, in the form of alkali metal salts or ammonium salts, or in the form of salts of guanidine and amines. In practical terms, sodium bromide, ammonium bromide, potassium chloride and guanidine hydrochloride can be used, and the use of ammonium bromide is preferred. Bleach-fixing solutions in accordance with the present invention contain a fixing agent as described hereinafter in addition to the bleaching agents, and they can also contain the aforementioned rehalogenating agents. The amount of bleaching agent in a bleach-fixing solution is the same as that in the case of a bleaching solution. Furthermore, the amount of rehalogenating agent is from 0 to 2.0 mol/liter, and preferably from 0.01 to 1.0 mol/liter. The bleaching solution and the bleach-fixing solution may further contain bleaching accelerators, corrosion inhibitors for preventing corrosion of processing vessels, buffers for maintaining a pH of processing solutions, brightening agents and defoaming agents, if desired. The compounds which have a mercapto group or a disulfide group disclosed in U.S. Patent 3,893,858, German Patent 1,290,812, U.S. Patent 1,138,842, JP-A-53-95630 and Research Disclosure, No. 17129 (1978); the thiazolidine derivatives disclosed in JP-A-50-140129; the thiourea derivatives disclosed in U.S. Patent 3,706,561; the polyethylene oxides disclosed in German Patent 2,748,430; the polyamine compounds disclosed in JP-B-45-8836 and the imidazole compounds disclosed in JP-A-49-40493, for example, can be used as bleaching accelerators (the term "JP-B" as used herein refers to an "examined Japanese patent publication"). Among these compounds, the mercapto compounds disclosed in U.S. Patent 1,138,842 are preferred. The use of nitrates as corrosion inhibitors is desirable. For example, ammonium nitrate and potassium nitrate can be used. The amount added is generally from 0.05 to 0.5 mol/liter, preferably from 0.01 to 2.0 mol/ liter, and more preferably from 0.05 to 0.5 mol/liter. The pH of the bleaching or bleach-fixing solution in the present invention is generally from 2 to 8, and preferably from 3 to 7.5. The use of a bleaching or bleach-fixing solution of pH not more than 6, and preferably not more than 5.5, is preferred in cases where bleaching or bleach fixing is carried out immediately after color development, with a view to preventing the occurrence of bleach fogging. Furthermore, the metal chelates of the present invention become unstable at pH values of less than 2, so a pH of from 2 to 5.5 is preferred. Organic acids and alkali chemicals (for example, aqueous ammonia, KOH, NaOH, imidazole, monoethanolamine, diethanolamine) can be used conjointly to adjust the pH of the processing solution which has a bleaching ability within the aforementioned range. During processing, it is desirable for the processing solution which has a bleaching ability to be aerated with an oxidation product of the iron(II) complex salt which is formed. The bleaching agent is regenerated in this way, and photographic performance can be maintained in a very stable manner. The bleaching or bleach-fixing process is carried out at a temperature of generally from 30°C to 50°C, and preferably at a temperature of from 35°C to 45°C. The bleaching process time used is within the range of generally from 10 seconds to 5 minutes with a photosensitive material for photography, but it is preferably within the range of from 10 seconds to 60 seconds and particularly from 10 seconds to 30 seconds, while with a print type photosensitive material, the bleaching process time is generally from 5 seconds to 70 seconds, and preferably from 5 seconds to 30 seconds. Rapid processing without increased staining has been achieved under these preferred conditions. Known fixing agents can be used in the fixer (fixing solution) or bleach-fixer (bleach-fixing solution). These fixing agents include, for example, thiosulfates, thiocyanates, thioethers, amines, mercapto compounds, thiones, thioureas and iodides, and representative examples include ammonium thiosulfate, sodium thiosulfate, potassium thiosulfate, guanidine thiosulfate, potassium thiocyanate, dihydroxyethyl thioether, 3,6-dithia-1,8-octanediol and imidazole. Among these, thiosulfates, and especially ammonium thiosulfate, are preferred from the viewpoint of rapid fixing. Moreover, two or more types of fixing agent can be used conjointly, and even more rapid fixing can be achieved in this way. For example, the conjoint use of, for example, the aforementioned ammonium thiocyanate, imidazole, thiourea or thioether with ammonium thiosulfate is desirable, and in this case the second fixing agent is preferably added in an amount of from 0.01 to 100 mol% with respect to the ammonium thiosulfate. The amount of fixer used is generally from 0.1 to 3 mol, and preferably from 0.5 to 2 mol, per liter of fixer or bleach-fixer. The pH of the fixer depends on the type of fixing agent, but, in general, it is from 3 to 9. When thiosulfate is used in particular, a stable fixing performance is obtained in the pH range of from 6.5 to 8, and this is preferred. Preservatives can be added to the fixer and/or bleach-fixer, and it is possible to increase the storage stability of the liquid in this way. In the case of fixers and bleach-fixers which contain thiosulfate, sulfite and/or hydroxylamine, hydrazine and bisulfite addition compounds of aldehydes (for example, the bisulfite addition compounds of acetaldehyde, and especially the bisulfite addition compounds of aromatic aldehydes disclosed in JP-A-1-298935) are effective as preservatives. Furthermore, use of the sulfinic acid compounds disclosed in JP-A-60-283881 is desirable. Furthermore, the addition of buffers to the fixers and/or bleach-fixers is desirable for maintaining the pH of the liquid at a constant value. Examples of buffers include phosphates, imidazoles such as imidazole, 1-methylimidazole, 2-methylimidazole and 1-ethylimidazole; triethanolamine, N-allylmorpholine and N-benzoylpiperazine. Moreover, the iron ions which are carried over from the bleaching bath can be sequestered and the stability of the solution can be improved by adding various chelating agents to a fixer. Examples of preferred chelating agents of this type are indicated below. (1) 1-Hydroxyethylidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid (2) Ethylenediamine-N,N,N',N'-tetramethylenephosphonic acid (3) Nitrilotrimethylenephosphonic acid (4) Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (5) Diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (6) Cyclohexanediaminetetraacetic acid (7) 1,2-Propanediaminetetraacetic acid The fixing process is carried out at a temperature within the range of from 30°C to 50°C, but it is preferably carried out in the range of from 35°C to 45°C. The fixing process time is, for a sensitive material for photography, generally from 35 seconds to 2 minutes, and preferably from 40 seconds to 100 seconds, and with a print type sensitive material, it is generally from 10 seconds to 70 seconds and preferably from 10 seconds to 30 seconds. A desilvering process in the present invention can be carried out with a bleaching process and/or a bleach-fixing process, and typical examples are indicated below.

Examples of these surfactants include polyethylene glycol-type nonionic surfactants, polyhydric alcohol-type nonionic surfactants, alkylbenzenesulfonate-type anionic surfactants, higher alcohol sulfate ester salt-type anionic surfactants, alkylnaphthalenesulfonate-type anionic surfactants, quaternary ammonium salt-type cationic surfactants, amine salt-type cationic surfactants, amino acid-type amphoteric surfactants and betaine-type amphoteric surfactants, but the use of nonionic surfactants is preferred, since the ionic-type surfactants bond with the various ions which are introduced during processing and form insoluble substances, and the use of alkylphenol ether oxide adducts is especially desirable. Octyl-, nonyl-, dodecyl- and dinonyl-phenol are especially desirable for the alkylphenol, and the addition of from 8 to 14 mol of ethylene oxide is particularly preferred. Moreover, the use of silicon-based surfactants which have a high antifoaming effect is also desirable. Furthermore, various biocides and fungicides can be included in the water washing water for inhibiting the occurrence of fur and the formation of fungi in the photosensitive material after processing. These biocides and fungicides include thiazolylbenzimidazole-based compounds such as those disclosed in JP-A-57-157244 and JP-A-58-105145, isothiazolone compounds such as those disclosed in JP-A-54-27424 and JP-A-57-8542, chlorophenol-based compounds such as those typified by trichlorophenol, bromophenol-based compounds, organotin or organozinc compounds, thiocyanic acid or isothiocyanic acid-based compounds, acid amide-based compounds, diazine- and triazine-based compounds, thiourea-based compounds, benzotriazole alkylguanidine compounds, quaternary ammonium salts as typified by benzalkonium chloride, antibiotics as typified by penicillin, and the general purpose biocide disclosed in J. Antibact. Antifung. Agents, Vol. 1, No. 5, pages 207 to 223, and these may be used individually, or two or more may be used conjointly. Furthermore, the various disinfectants disclosed in JP-A-48-83820 can also be used. Furthermore, the inclusion of various chelating agents is desirable. The preferred chelating agents include aminopolycarboxylic acids such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid, organophosphonic acids such as 1-hydroxyethylidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid and ethylenediamine-N,N,N',N'-tetramethylenephosphonic acid, and the hydrolyzates of maleic anhydride polymers disclosed in European Patent Application 345172A1. Furthermore, the inclusion in the water washing water of the preservatives which can be included in the aforementioned fixers and bleach-fixers is desirable. Processing solutions which stabilize the dye image are used for the stabilizers which are employed in the stabilization process. For example, liquids which contain organic acids and have a buffering ability of pH 3 to 6, and liquids which contain aldehydes (for example, formalin or glutaraldehyde) can be used. All of the compounds which can be added to the water washing water can also be included in the stabilizer, and ammonium compounds such as ammonium chloride and ammonium sulfate, compounds of metals such as Bi and Al, brightening agents, various dye stabilizers such as the N-methylol compounds disclosed in JP-A-2-153350 and JP-A-2-153348 and U.S. Patent 4,859,574 and the methods of stabilization in which these dye stabilizers are used as disclosed therein, film hardening agents and the alkanolamine disclosed in U.S. Patent 4,786,583, for example, can also be used, if desired. Furthermore, a multistage countercurrent system is preferred for the water washing process or stabilizing process, and the use of from 2 to 4 stages is desirable. The replenishment rate is generally from 1 to 50 times, preferably from 2 to 30 times, and more preferably from 2 to 15 times, the carry-over from the previous bath per unit area. The water which is used in these water washing processes or stabilization processes may be city water, but the use of water which has been deionized with an ion exchange resin so that the Ca and Mg concentrations each are not more than 5 mg/liter, and water which has been sterilized with halogens or by means of an ultraviolet biocidal lamp, is preferred. Furthermore, city water can be used to replenish water lost by evaporation, but use of the deionized water and sterilized water preferably used in the above mentioned water washing process or stabilizing process is preferred. In the present invention, not only the bleach and bleach-fixer but also the other processing solutions are preferably replenished with a suitable amount of water and replenisher, or with a process replenisher, in order to compensate for the concentration which arises due to evaporation. Furthermore, by using a method in which the overflow from the water washing process or stabilizing process is introduced into the bath which has a fixing ability and which is an earlier process bath, it is possible to reduce the amount of waste liquid, and this is desirable. Forced agitation is desirable in processing in accordance with the present invention for the effective realization of the effect of the present invention. Methods of forced agitation include the methods in which a jet of processing fluid is made to impinge on the emulsion surface of the photosensitive material as disclosed in JP-A-62-183460, the method in which the agitation effect is increased by means of a rotating device disclosed in JP-A-62-18346, the methods in which the agitation effect is increased by moving the photosensitive material while the emulsion surface is in contact with a wiper blade or a squeegee roller which has been placed in the bath to produce turbulence at the emulsion surface, and methods in which the circulating flow rate of the processing solution as a whole is increased can be used as methods of forced agitation. The method of processing of the present invention is preferably carried out using an automatic processor. Methods of transportation in such automatic processors have been disclosed in JP-A-60-191257, JP-A-60-191258 and JP-A-60-191259. Furthermore, a short crossover time between processing tanks in the automatic processor is desirable for carrying out the rapid processing which is the object of the present invention. Automatic processors which have a crossover time of not more than 10 seconds have been disclosed in JP-A-1-319038. When processing is carried out continuously using an automatic processor with the method for processing of the present invention, the addition of replenishers in accordance with the amount of photosensitive material which has been processed is desirable for replenishing the components of the processing solutions which have been consumed by the processing of the sensitive material and to prevent the accumulation of undesirable components which have dissolved out from the photosensitive material in the processing solutions. Furthermore, two or more processing tanks can be used for each processing operation (step), and in this case a countercurrent system in which a replenisher is introduced into the previous tank from the following tank is preferred. A cascade of from 2 to 4 stages is especially desirable for the water washing process and the stabilizing process. The replenishment rate is preferably low, provided that there are no problems with changes in the compositions in the respective processing solutions affecting photographic performance or resulting in the contamination of other solutions. The color developer replenishment rate is, in the case of a color materials for photography, generally from 100 ml to 1,500 ml, and preferably from 100 ml to 1,000 ml, per square meter of photosensitive material, and in the case of a color print material, it is generally from 20 ml to 500 ml, and preferably from 30 ml to 200 ml, per square meter of photosensitive material. The bleach replenishment rate is, in the case of a color material for photography, generally from 10 ml to 500 ml, and preferably from 10 ml to 160 ml, per square meter of photosensitive material. In the case of a print material, it is generally from 20 ml to 300 ml, and preferably from 50 ml to 150 ml, per square meter of sensitive material. The bleach-fixer replenishment rate is, in the case of a sensitive material for photography, generally from 100 ml to 3,000 ml, and preferably from 200 ml to 1,300 ml, per square meter of sensitive material, and in the case of a print material, it is generally from 20 ml to 300 ml, and preferably from 50 ml to 200 ml, per square meter of sensitive material. Replenishment of a bleach-fixer can be carried out using a single solution, or the bleach-fixer may be replenished separately in regard to the bleach composition and the fixer composition, and the overflow from a bleach bath and/or a fixer bath, mixed together, can be used as a replenisher for a bleach-fixing bath. The replenishment rate for a fixer is, in the case of a material for photography, generally from 300 ml to 3,000 ml, and preferably from 300 ml to 1,000 ml, per square meter of photosensitive material, and in the case of a print material, it is generally from 20 ml to 300 ml, and preferably from 50 ml to 200 ml, per square meter of photosensitive material. The replenishment rate of the water washing water or stabilizer is generally from 1 to 50 times, preferably from 2 to 30 times, and more desirably from 2 to 15 times, the carry-over from the previous bath per unit area. The use in combination of various methods of regeneration is desirable for further reducing the aforementioned replenishment rate for the purpose of environmental protection. Regeneration may be carried out while the processing solution is being circulated in the automatic processor, or processing solution may be removed temporarily from the processing tank and subjected to an appropriate regeneration treatment, after which it can be returned to the processing tank as a replenisher. Regeneration of the developer can be carried out by removing the accumulated materials by means of, for example, an ion exchange treatment with an anion exchange resin or an electro-dialysis treatment, and/or by the addition of reagents known as regenerating agents. The extent of regeneration is preferably at least 50%, and more preferably at least 70%. Commercial anion exchange resins can be used, but the use of the highly selective ion exchange resins disclosed in JP-A-63-11005 is preferred. The metal chelate compounds used in the present invention in the bleach or bleach-fixer attain a reduced state as a result of the bleaching process. If the metal chelates accumulate in this reduced form, not only is the bleaching performance reduced but, depending on the case, the dye image may be formed with leuco dyes, and this results in a reduction of the image density. Consequently, the bleach and/or bleach-fixer is preferably subjected to continuous regeneration while processing is in progress. In practice, regeneration of the reduced form of the metal chelate compounds with oxygen by blowing air into the bleach (bleaching solution) and/or bleach-fixer (bleach-fixing solution) by means of an air pump is desirable. Alternatively, regeneration can be achieved by adding oxidizing agents such as hydrogen peroxide, persulfate or bromate. Regeneration of fixer and bleach-fixer is carried out by the electrolytic reduction of the accumulated silver ions. On the other hand, the accumulated halogen ions can be removed using an anion exchange resin, and this is desirable for maintaining fixing performance. Ion exchange or ultrafiltration are used to reduce the amount of water washing water used, and the use of ultrafiltration is especially desirable. Photosensitive materials which are suitable for processing in accordance with the present invention should have, on a support, at least one blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, at least one green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer and at least one red-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, but no particular limitation is required for the number or order of the silver halide emulsion layers and insensitive layers. In a multilayer silver halide color photographic material, the unit photosensitive layers are generally in the order, from the support side, of red-sensitive layer, green-sensitive layer, and blue-sensitive layer, but the above mentioned order may be reversed, according to the intended purpose, or a layer which has a different color sensitivity may be sandwiched between layers which have the same color sensitivity. Insensitive layers such as intermediate layers may be placed between the above mentioned silver halide photosensitive layers and as uppermost and lowermost layers. In the present invention, the dry film thickness of all the structural layers except the support of the color photosensitive material, the subbing layer on the support and the backing layers is preferably from 10.0 µm to 20.0 µm from the viewpoint of realizing the objects of the present invention. Particularly preferably, this dry film thickness is not more than 18.0 µm. The film thickness is specified because of the color developing agent take-up by these layers of a color photosensitive material during and after development and because of the considerable effect due to the amount of residual color developing agent on bleach fogging and on the staining which occurs during image storage after processing. In particular, the occurrence of bleach fogging and staining is due to the fact that the increase in magenta coloration, which is thought to be linked to the green-sensitive color layer, is greater than the increase in the cyan and yellow colorations. The film thickness of the multilayer color photosensitive material in the present invention is measured using the method indicated below. The sensitive material which is to be measured is stored after preparation for 7 days under conditions of 25°C, 50% RH. First, the total thickness of the sensitive material is measured, and then the thickness is measured again after removing the coated layers from the support. The difference is taken to be the total film thickness of the coated layers except for the support of the aforementioned sensitive material. This thickness can be measured using, for example, a film thickness gauge of the contact type with a voltage conversion element (Anritus Electric Co. Ltd., K-402B Stand.). Moreover, the removal of the coated layer on the support can be achieved using an aqueous solution of sodium hypochlorite. Next, a cross sectional photograph of the above mentioned sensitive material is taken using a scanning electron microscope (magnification preferably at least 3,000 times), the total thickness and the thickness of each layer on the support are measured, and the thickness of each layer can then be calculated as a proportion of the measured value of the total thickness obtained beforehand with the film thickness gauge (the absolute value of the thickness as measured). The swelling factor [((Equilibrium swelled film thickness in water at 25°C - Total dry film thickness at 25°C, 55% RH)/Total dry film thickness at 25°C, 55% RH) × 100] of the sensitive material in the present invention is preferably from 50 to 200%, and more preferably from 70 to 150%. If the swelling factor is outside the range of the numerical values indicated above, the amount of residual color developing agent increases, and there is an adverse effect on image quality, photographic performance and desilvering properties, and on the physical properties of the film, such as film strength. Moreover, the film swelling rate T½ in a sensitive material in the present invention is defined as the time taken for the film thickness to reach half of the film thickness observed when 90% of the maximum swelled film thickness which is reached in a color developer (38°C, 3 minutes 15 seconds) is taken to be the saturation film thickness, and T½ is preferably not more than 15 seconds, and more preferably not more than 9 seconds. The silver halide contained in the photographic emulsion layers of a color photosensitive material with which the present invention is employed may have any silver halide composition. That is to say, it may be silver chloride, silver bromide, silver chlorobromide, silver iodobromide, silver iodochloride or silver iodochlorobromide. Silver halide photographic emulsions which can be used in the present invention can be prepared, for example, using the methods disclosed in Research Disclosure (RD), No. 17643 (December, 1978), pages 22 and 23, "I. Emulsion Preparation and Types", Research Disclosure, No. 18716 (November, 1979), page 648, P. Glafkides, Chimie et Physique Photographique (Paul Montel, 1967), G.F.

The crystal structure may be uniform, the interior and exterior parts of the grains may comprise different halogen compositions, or the grains may have a layer-like structure. Moreover, silver halides which have different compositions may be joined with an epitaxial junction, or they may be joined with compounds other than silver halides, such as silver thiocyanate or lead oxide, for example. Furthermore, mixtures of grains which have various crystalline forms may be used. The silver halide emulsions used have generally been subjected to physical ripening, chemical ripening and spectral sensitization. Additives which are used in such processes have been disclosed in Research Disclosure, Nos. 17643, 18716 and 307105, and the locations of these disclosures are summarized in the following table. Known photographically useful additives which can be used in the present invention have also been disclosed in the three Research Disclosure publications referred to above, and the locations of these disclosures are indicated in the table below. Furthermore, it is desirable to add the compounds which can react with and fix formaldehyde disclosed in U.S. Patents 4,411,987 and 4,435,503 to the photosensitive material for preventing deterioration of photographic performance due to formaldehyde gas.
