Abstract
An image forming method comprising; PA1 subjecting an image forming medium containing at least a photosensitive silver halide, an organic silver salt, a reducing agent, a polymerizable polymer precursor and a photopolymerization initiator, to imagewise exposure, followed by heating to produce a light-absorbing organic compound in said image forming medium; and subjecting said image forming medium in which said light-absorbing organic compound has been produced, to polymerization exposure to cause said polymerizable polymer precursor to polymerize; where the light-absorbing characteristics of said light-absorbing organic compound are utilized to suppress the polymerization of said polymerizable polymer precursor at the area at which said light-absorbing organic compound has been produced.
