Abstract: In a method of processing a photosensitive material in a processing solution, a solid component and water are fed separately. A working solution is prepared by dissolving the solid component in the water. Thereafter; the photosensitive material is processed by being brought in contact with the working solution.

Abstract: A processing machine to process information recorded on a photographic film to be processed in the form of plural information. When information contents relating to the same processing item are recorded both in the form of information that is possible to rewrite and in the form of information that is impossible to rewrite, the photographic film is processed based on the form of information that is possible to rewrite.

Abstract: A slit exposure type color image forming apparatus having a first conveying device for transferring a photosensitive material to an exposure position, a second conveying device for transferring the photosensitive material from the exposure position to another position, an exposure unit adapted to expose an image on a silver halide photosensitive material while transporting the photosensitive material by the second conveying device, and a processor adapted to form a visible image on the photosensitive material. The image on the photosensitive material exposed on the basis of a signal from a detecting member, which is adapted to detect the passage of the photosensitive material. The first conveying device is released from the photosensitive material clamping force while the material is being exposed.
