Abstract: A method for forming a color positive image which comprises steps of:(a) exposing a color positive type silver halide material including a support having thereon at least two silver halide emulsion layers which have different spectral sensitivity distribution from each other, to light passed through a filter having at least one absorption band where light is absorbed in a sharp width; at least one absorption peak thereof being in a wavelength of from 480 to 520 nm or from 580 to 620 nm, the optical density of the absorption peak being at least 0.8; the 3/4 value width of the absorption peak, designated as W 3/4, being at least 5 nm and the 3/4 value width of the absorption peak and the 1/4 value width of the absorption peak, designated as W 1/4, satisfying the following relation:W3/4= W1/4.ltoreq.30 nm.and(b) developing the exposed material.
