Abstract

The present invention provides 6 embodiments of a new image forming method. The image forming method uses a light-sensitive material and an image receiving material. The light-sensitive material comprises a support and a light-sensitive polymerizable layer provided thereon. Some embodiments of the light-sensitive material further have an adhesive layer. The light-sensitive polymerizable layer contains silver halide, a reducing agent and an ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable compound or/and a cross-linkable polymer. Some embodiments of the light-sensitive polymerizable layer further contain a colorant. The image forming method comprises an exposing step, a developing step, a removing step and a transferring step or a laminating step. Some embodiments of the image forming method further contains a peeling step or a toning step. The present invention is characterized in the combination of the removing step with the transferring step or the laminating step. New light-sensitive materials having the adhesive layer are also disclosed.
