To provide a photographic processing apparatus equipped with a plurality of process liquid tanks reserving a developing liquid, the process liquid tanks provided with a process rack which conveys a photosensitive material in the developing liquid in the process tank, then pulling up the material from the developing liquid and transporting the material to another process liquid tank on a downstream side, wherein oxidation of the developing liquid is suppressed during the photosensitive material is pulled up into air.

A region V where a photosensitive material P pulled up from a developing liquid passes is filled with a foamed process liquid prepared by foaming the process liquid with a non-oxidative gas.
