Abstract

The present invention provides 4 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. The light-sensitive polymerizable layer contains silver halide, a reducing agent, an ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable compound or/and a cross-linkable polymer and a colorant. The image forming method comprises an exposing step, a developing step, a removing step, a transferring step and a repeating step. Some embodiments of the method further contain a laminating step. The present invention is characterized in that a multicolor image is formed on an image receiving material by the repeating step.
