ABSTRACT:
A light-sensitive material processing apparatus for processing an imagewise exposed light-sensitive material while the light-sensitive material is being conveyed to a plurality of processing tanks accommodating a processing solution. The apparatus includes a conductivity detector for detecting the electrical conductivity of the processing solution in a first processing tank; a first supplying device for replenishing a first replenisher to the first processing tank; a second supplying device for replenishing a second replenisher to at least a second processing tank; and a first controller which is adapted to supply the first replenisher to the first processing tank by actuating the first supplying device when the electrical conductivity of the processing solution in the first processing tank detected by the conductivity detector reaches a predetermined value, and is also adapted to supply the second replenisher to at least the second processing tank by actuating the second supplying device in an amount substantially proportional to the amount of the first replenisher supplied to the first processing tank. Accordingly, it is unnecessary to provide the second processing tank with the conductivity detector.
