A multilayer image-forming material which comprises an organic sulfur compound and a metal capable of interreacting upon irradiation with electromagnetic radiation to form an interreaction product or products (hereinafter product and products will simply termed 'product'). When the image-forming material is imagewise irradiated with electromagnetic radiation, an interreaction product of the organic sulfur compound and the metal is formed in the irradiated portions of the material, and the physical, chemical and pysico-chemical properties of the thus formed interreaction product are different from those of the respective organic sulfur compound and metal in the non-irradiated portions. Utilizing this difference in properties, the present image-forming material is useful for various applications.
