Abstract
An image forming method is disclosed, wherein a photographic element comprising a support having on at least one side thereof at least a photographic component layer containing light sensitive silver halide is subjected to exposure and photographic processing to form a dye image, in which the photographic processing is allowed to be completed, while the residual silver content in the photographic element is 5% or more; image information in the visible light wavelength region, in which the dye image has absorption, and image information in the invisible light wavelength region are read, and the obtained image information is further subjected to image processing to reduce noise due to the residual silver.
