An image forming method of a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material is disclosed. The silver halide photographic light-sensitive material is exposed to a laser beam light, while said silver halide photographic light-sensitive material is conveyed with rollers at 15 to 100 mm/sec., and processed with a developer composition containing a developing agent represented by formula (A). The silver halide photographic light-sensitive material contains at least an organic contrast enhancing agent, the impedance of at least one side of said silver halide photographic light-sensitive material is from 4.times.10.sup.5 to 10.sup.20 .OMEGA., ##STR1## (defined in the specification)

Image forming method of a silver halide photographic light-sensitive

A silver halide photographic material is disclosed, comprising a support having on one side the support photographic component layers, wherein at least one of the component layers contains a composite polymeric material comprising inorganic particles and a hydrophobic polymer, a silver halide emulsion layer comprising a silver halide emulsion containing silver halide grains having an average chloride content of not less than 60 mol % and containing a metal dopant.

Silver halide photographic light sensitive material

A silver halide black-and-white photographic light sensitive material is disclosed, comprising a support provided on one side thereof photographic component layers comprising at least two, first and second silver halide emulsion layers and optionally a nonlight-sensitive hydrophilic colloidal layer, the first emulsion layer being provided closer to the support than the second emulsion layer, wherein two or more layers of the component layers, each contains a hydrazine compound; and a molar ratio of a total hydrazine content of all layer(s) closer to the support from the first emulsion layer which include the first emulsion layer to that of all layer(s) farther from the support than the first emulsion layer which include the second emulsion layer is 0.2 to 0.8.

A method of forming an image is disclosed, comprising imagewise-exposing a silver halide photographic light sensitive material and developing the exposed photographic material to form a high contrast image, wherein said silver halide photographic material contains a spectral sensitizing dye represented by the following formula [S], and wherein said photographic material is developed with a developer having a pH of 10.9 or less, said developer being replenished by a developer-replenishing solution having a pH value of 10.9 or less in an amount of 300 ml or less per m.sup.2 of the photographic material. The photographic material further contains a hydrazine compound and a nucleation-accelerating agent. ##STR1##
