Abstract
A radiation-sensitive element in which silver halide is the sole source of image-forming silver containing incorporated processing chemicals is processed in a fluid activator which does not cause the processed element to be tacky. The element includes a fluid-impermeable support having thereon a radiation-sensitive material in a hydrophobic binder which is impermeable to water. Activation of the exposed radiation-sensitive material by the fluid activating agent results in a processed element which is dry to the touch and is substantially free from tackiness when removed from contact with the fluid activator. If a stabilizer precursor is incorporated in the element, the image is unaffected by further exposure to radiation.
