Patent ID: 6916601

Claim:
An image-forming method comprising: employing a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material, comprising, on a support, at least one silver halide emulsion layer containing a yellow dye-forming coupler, at least one silver halide emulsion layer containing a magenta dye-forming coupler, at least one silver halide emulsion layer containing a cyan dye-forming coupler, at least one color-mix preventing layer and at least one protective layer, wherein the said silver halide emulsion layer containing a yellow dye-forming coupler includes a blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion having a silver chloride content of 90 mole % or more, and containing at least one blue-sensitive sensitizing dye represented by formula (B-I); and exposing the said silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material to a blue semiconductor laser of a wavelength shorter by 30 nm to 60 nm than the wavelength at which the said blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion has the spectral sensitivity maximum: Formula (B-I) in formula (B-I), Y represents atoms necessary to form a benzene ring or a heterocyclic ring, each of which may be condensed with another carbon ring or heterocyclic ring and may have a substituent; R 1 and R 2 each represent an alkyl group, an aryl group, or a heterocyclic group; V 1 , V 2 , V 3 , and V 4 each represent a hydrogen atom or a substituent, with the proviso that two adjacent substituents do not bond with each other to form a saturated or unsaturated condensed ring; L represents a methine group; M represents a counter ion; and m represents a number of 0 or greater necessary to neutralize a charge of the molecule.
