A method for processing a silver halide photographic material is disclosed, comprising a support and a light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer provided on the frontside of the support, said photographic material being arranged in a processing container containing a processing solution to form a gap or series of continuous gaps adjacent to the surface of the light-sensitive layer between the frontside of the photographic material and the backside of the same photographic material, or between the frontside of the photographic material and a second photographic material, or between the frontside of the photographic material and a light-insensitive member, said gap or continuous series of gaps having a substantially constant gap width, comprising the steps of introducing a processing solution stream into each gap and replacing the processing solution thus introduced in an amount at least equivalent to the capacity of the gaps. A light-sensitive material for photographing is also disclosed, comprising a support in the form of a long roll size having provided thereon at least one photosensitive silver halide emulsion layer, said light-sensitive material having plural intermittent projections at both the left and right hand parallel margin portions along the lengthwise direction of the light-sensitive material. The light-sensitive material for photographing is well adapted for the processing method of the present invention.
