To provide a photographic processing apparatus capable of correcting curling habit of a photographic paper without paper jamming even if the degree of curling habit is different by the difference in the condition of the drying process, the specification of the photographic paper, or the like.
The photographic processing apparatus, equipped with an upstream roller pair for pressing and conveying a photographic paper whose conveying direction has been changed after the drying process, a discharge roller pair for pressing and conveying the photographic paper conveyed by the upstream roller pair and discharging to the outside, a decurling roller for decurling the photographic paper extending over the upstream roller pair and the discharge roller pair and a guiding means arranged oppositely to the decurling roller, is constituted so that the decurling roller and the guiding means are relatively separated from each other before the photographic paper from the upstream roller pair approaches between the decurling roller and the guiding means and are relatively brought close to each other upon passing of the photographic paper between the decurling roller and the guiding means with the decurling roller abutting the photographic paper.
