Abstract: A process for forming a photographic image includes a color development step and a combined bleach/redox amplification step. The bleach amplification step is effected by applying to the surface of the photographic paper or other material an amount of bleach/redox amplifier solution in the range from 20 to 500 ml/m.sup.2. The solution applied to the surface is used once only and contains hydrogen peroxide or a peroxide releasing compound.

Abstract: Photographic materials are processed by color development and a peroxide amplifier solution. The color developer contains an alkali metal phosphate and has a pH of 11 to 12.

Abstract: A color photographic material is processed first by color development, then is contacted with a solution that both bleaches and provides redox amplification.

Abstract: A low volume developer tank system for the sequential processing of films that require different concentrations of bromide ions in the developer solution comprises a developer tank (2) provided with an ion exchange column (30) for removing bromide ions from solution which column can be engaged and disengaged and a plurality of reservoirs (6,8,10,12,14) arranged to feed individual replenisher components to the recirculation system (20). When processing a process C-41 compatible film the system is preferably operated with no bromide in the replenisher and removal of bromide from the developer is by overflow. When processing a film employing zero or very low bromide, the system is preferably operated with no bromide in the replenisher, substantially no overflow and removal of bromide from the developer is by ion exchange.
