Abstract: A silver halide photographic light-sensitive material comprising a support having thereon at least one colored layer, and the layer can be decolored or lightened upon photographic processing of the photographic light-sensitive material,wherein the colored layer is formed by a process comprising the step of:color developing at least one colorless or light-colored leuco-dyestuff utilizing at least one metal salt of an organic acid.

Abstract: A conventional silver halide color photographic material is described, containing a coupler having a dye moiety having the maximum absorption wave length shifted to a short wave length by a linkage which is cleaved directly or through a timing group by a coupling reaction with the oxidation product of a developing agent and forming a compound or the precursor thereof (compound A) having a dye moiety having the maximum absorption wave length before shifting as the result of the above-described reaction and a compound capable of fixing the hue of the compound A at a long wave length and/or capable of immobilizing the compound A in the photographic layer.

Abstract: A silver halide color photographic material comprising a support having thereon at least a silver halide emulsion layer containing a compound represented by formula (I) ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 each represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, a halogen atom, an alkoxycarbonyl group, a carbamoyl group, a carbonamido group, a sulfonamido group, or a sulfamoyl group; R.sup.3 represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, or a carbonamido group; X represents a halogen atom or an alkoxy group; R.sup.4 represents a carbamoyl group, an alkylsulfonyl group, an arylsulfonyl group, or a sulfamoyl group; R.sup.5 represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a halogen-substituted alkyl group, a nitro group, a cyano group, a carbamoyl group, a sulfamoyl group, an alkylsulfonyl group, an acyl group, an alkoxycarbonyl group, an aryloxycarbonyl group, an alkoxy group, an aryloxy group, a carbonamido group, or a sulfonamido group; provided that at least one of said R.

Abstract: A silver halide color photographic material comprising a support having provided thereon at least one silver halide emulsion layer, wherein the photographic material contains a compound having a dye portion in which the maximum absorption wavelength is shifted by a bond that is cleaved upon reaction with an oxidation product of a developing agent and is capable of forming a diffusion resistant compound having a dye portion possessing the maximum absorption wavelength which is not shifted as a result of the reaction with an oxidation product of a developing agent.By the use of the compound which permits a large degree of freedom with respect to selection of the dye for forming a color image according to the present invention, the color photographic material has an excellent image quality, and a good fastness of image or a high sensitivity.
