An image-forming method, which comprises contacting at least one member selected from the group consisting of chlorite, chlorous acid, chlorine dioxide water, bromite and bromous acid with a photographic element comprising a support having provided thereon at least one layer containing image-wise distributed catalyst nuclei in the presence of a developing agent to thereby conduct image intensification.
A method of processing an exposed originating silver halide color photographic element comprising developing the photographic element in a color devoloper containing a p-phenylenediamine color developing agent in the presence of a 1-phenyl pyrazolidin-3-one compound wherein the originating silver halide photographic element comprises a radiation sensitive emulsion in reactive association with a development inhibitor releasing compound and containing a silver halide grain population comprised of grains comprising at least 50 mole percent silver chloride, based on total silver forming the grain population projected area, wherein at least 50 percent of total grain projected area is accounted for by intrinsically stable silver halide tabular grains (1) bounded by {100} major faces having adjacent edge ratios of less than 10 and (2) each having an average aspect ratio of at least 2, and wherein the silver halide content of the photographic element comprises at least 50 mole % silver chloride and no more than 2 mole % silver iodide.
