A silver halide color photographic material having at least one silver halide emulsion layer on a support is color developed after imagewise exposure, followed by desilverization, wherein the photographic material has a total dry film thickness of 8 to 22 .mu.m, the concentration of ammonium ions contained in a processing solution having fixing ability used in desilverization is 0 to 50 mol % based on the total cations, and the processing solution having fixing ability contains at least one kind of thioether compound, thereby improving desilverization performance in continuous processing and preventing yellow stains from increasing.
