Moreover, this matting agent has good affinity for gelatin and is almost free from powder-dropping.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for processing a silver halide photographic material, having on one side of a support a hydrophobic polymer layer as the outermost layer and on the side opposite an emulsion layer, by means of an automatic developing apparatus. The apparatus has a drying operation part which is equipped with two or more hot rollers arranged so that the silver halide photographic material may be wrapped partly around each of the hot rollers in turn and the contact between the rollers and the material may alternate between the front surface and the back surface of the photographic material, whereby the moisture in the photographic material evaporates from the surface areas when they are not in contact with the hot rollers. This method results in improvements in the drying characteristics of the photographic material and the transportation characteristics of the automatic developing apparatus.
