Abstract: A silver halide photographic material providing very high contrast and negative image photographic characteristics comprising a support having thereon at least one silver halide photographic emulsion layer containing substantially surface latent image type mono-dispersed silver halide grains and providing a negative image, at least one hydrophilic colloid layer of the photographic material containing a compound represented by the general formula (I)R.sup.1 NHNHCOR.sup.2 (I)wherein R.sup.1 represents an aryl group and R.sup.2 represents a hydrogen atom, a phenyl group, or an unsubstituted alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms; and a compound represented by the general formula (II) or (III) ##STR1## wherein R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5 and R.sup.

Abstract: A thermally developable light-sensitive material comprising a support having therein or in at least one layer thereon (a) an organic silver salt, (b) a photocatalyst, and (c) a reducing agent, and additionally (d) at least one 1,2,4-triazole compound.

Abstract: In a method of processing an image-wise exposed silver halide color photographic material by applying thereto at least a color development processing and a silver removal processing (including performing a bleaching and a fixing separately or simultaneously, (e.g., a blixing)), the improvement which comprises processing, after the color development processing, the silver halide color photographic material with a processing bath containing a compound, as a bleach accelerator, represented by the following general formula (I): ##STR1## wherein R represents an --NR.sup.4 R.sup.5 group, an --O--R.sup.6 group or an --S--R.sup.6 group; R.sup.6 represents an atomic group necessary for forming a ring together with R.sup.1 ; R.sup.1, R.sup.4 and R.sup.5, which may be the same or different, each represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group; R.sup.2 and R.sup.

Abstract: A two-equivalent color photographic coupler having advantageous properties and capable of forming a magenta color image upon coupling with an oxidation product of an aromatic primary amine developing agent, in which the carbon atom at the coupling position of the coupler is bonded to the nitrogen atom at the 1- or 4-position of a 1,2,4-triazole ring; a color photographic light-sensitive material containing the above-mentioned color photographic coupler and a method of forming a color image comprising developing an image-wise exposed photographic light-sensitive material in the presence of the above-described color photographic coupler are also described.
