摘要:
A photo-finishing apparatus for a silver halide photosensitive material, including an agitating device to agitate or circulate a processing solution in a processing tank, a time detecting device to detect an elapsed time since a processing operation was completed, a temperature detecting device to detect temperature of the processing solution in the processing tank, and a control section to control operation of the agitating device by such ways that when the time detecting device detects a predetermined elapsed time, the control section deactivates the agitating device, and when the temperature detecting device detects that the temperature of the processing solution in the processing tank has dropped lower than a predetermined lower limit temperature, the control section re-activates the agitating device, and continues to activate until the temperature detecting device detects that the temperature of the processing solution in the processing tank has increased to a predetermined acceptable processing temperature.
