Nakamura discloses aqueous compositions useful for
developing imagewise exposed silver halide color photographic
materials. The solution, denominated a "mono-bath type
intensifying developing solution", includes hydrogen peroxide
or a compound capable of releasing hydrogen peroxide and a
color developing agent (column 3, lines 44 through 53). The
ingredients which make up the developing solution are well-
known and include buffering agents (column 12, lines 3 through
25); and, stabilizers for the peroxide (column 12, lines 26
through 48). The pH of the solution is within a range of from
7 to 14, preferably between 8 and 13 (column 12, lines 58
through 63). Hydroxylamine sulfate may be further added to the
solution (column 13, lines 17 through 19). The intensifying
solutions may contain a variety of other ingredients,
including at least one developing agent, and other compounds
known as components for developing solutions (column 17, line
29 through column 22, line 31). Example 1 describes an aqueous
developing solution including hydroxylamine sulfate at a pH of
10.1 and an aqueous developing intensifying solution including
hydrogen peroxide and a buffering agent at a pH of 11.0.
Example 3 discloses an aqueous developing intensifying
