Method for processing a silver halide photographic material

A method for processing a silver halide color-photographic material comprising the imagewise exposure of a silver halide color-photographic light-sensitive material to light, color-developing the light-sensitive material, and then desilvering the light-sensitive material, where (a) said silver halide color- photographic light-sensitive material contains a compound which reacts with an oxidation product of an aromatic primary amine color developing agent to form a bleaching accelerator, (b) the desilvering step is conducted with a processing solution containing a ferric complex salt of an organic acid, and (c) the total amount of replenisher of the processing solution to be used in the desilvering step satisfies one of the following conditions (i) or (ii): (i) the total amount of replenisher is 1,000 m l or less per m of the light-sensitive material if the coated amount of silver per m of the light-sensitive material is 2.0 g or more; (ii) the total amount of replenisher is 400 m l or less per m of the light-sensitive material if the coated amount of silver per m of the light-sensitive material is less than 2.0 g.
