Abstract
An image-forming process developing a previously image-exposed silver halide photographic material with an alkaline developer containing a reductone compound as a main developing agent in the presence of a 1,2,5-thiadiazole compound and/or a 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole compound, and the silver halide photographic material and the photographic developer being used for the process are disclosed. In this case, the 1,2,5-thuiadiazole compound and/or the 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole may be contained in the silver halide photographic material and/or the alkaline developer. Super high-contrast images for photomechanical process having a gamma of higher than 15 and having no pepper and less fog can be obtained.
