Abstract: A process and a composition is described of a color developing agent for processing a silver halide color photographic material, the composition containing a paraphenylenediamine type color developing agent and an amine of formula (I) or a salt thereof R1NR2R3  (I) wherein R1 and R2 are independently selected from alkyls, phenyls, hydrogen, and substituted derivatives thereof, such substituents including hydroxyl, alkoxyl, amide, sulfoneaminde and alkyl sulfoneamide groups, and R3 represents an aromatic such as phenyl or naphthyl and substituents thereof. When used in highly concentrated solutions, the compositions are capable of preventing the precipitation of the color developer agent.

Abstract: Color development composition and process. The compositions of this invention contain a color developer containing poly(N-hydroxyl alkyleneimine) and/or a derivative thereof, which are represented by general formula (I) shown below: ##STR1## wherein: "R" in said formula (I) represents an alkylene group, which may be substituted by a hydroxyl group, a carboxyl group, a sulfo group or other similar groups and may contain carbonyl linkage, ether linkage, double bond or other similar bond or linkage, and may also have a cyclic structure;" and ".sub.n " in said formula (I) represents an integer in the range from 10 to 10,000. These compositions are used for processing silver halide-type color sensitized material. These compositions maintain the usable life of a color developer, do not cause decrease of color density or deterioration of quality of photographs such as fogging, and have no odor or deleterious substance.
