For more than 0 years, it has been treated by immersion in a large amount of excess liquid processing solution. Given the growing trend of global environmental protection in recent years, considering the ideal system for processing silver halide photographic light-sensitive materials, create processing solutions that are as dense as possible and develop light-sensitive materials. Complete the process using the minimum amount required for the process. In order to achieve this ideal system, the inventors of the present invention have conducted various experiments and studies, and have arrived at a developing method by coating.

In addition, it is economical because the coating amount of the processing liquid is extremely small, and the automatic developing machine and the processing method of the silver halide photographic light-sensitive material which are suitable for the global environment because the amount of the waste liquid is small can be obtained. I understood.

[0005] In particular, this effect is achieved by dividing the processing solution to be applied into at least two or more portions and coating the emulsion surface of the light-sensitive material, and instantaneously preparing and using a very concentrated processing solution on the surface of the light-sensitive material. Therefore, it is possible to supply an extremely concentrated processing solution to the surface of the photosensitive material, as compared with the case of using one processing solution which is usually used, and the effect of the present invention can be more remarkably exhibited. In addition, in combination with this coating and developing method, the photosensitive material is directly heated,
It is also possible to carry out the treatment at a high temperature state which cannot be considered in the ordinary treatment, and in this case, it is possible to obtain extremely high active treatment characteristics. Stable processing becomes possible.
