Abstract From the Canadian patent

i-, STABILIZING BATH FOR USE IN, PHOTOGRAPHIC PROCESSING ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE, A stabilizing bath which provides reduced stain and enhanced dye stability for photographic color elements which are processed therein is comprised of a dye stabilizing agent and an alkanolamine. The stabilizing bath is used as a final processing bath which follows treatment of the element in a fixing or bleach-fixing bath containing a thiosulfate fixing agent. The alkanolamine functions to prevent the precipitation of sulfur resulting from carryover of the thiosulfate fixing agent into the stabilizing bath.
