Abstract
An image forming method is conducted by subjecting a dry silver salt image forming medium to imagewise exposure and heating to form a light-absorbing organic compound. Thereafter, the medium is subjected to polymerization exposure to imagewise polymerize the medium based on the formation pattern of the light-absorbing compound. The light-absorbing organic compound has specific sensitivities to light in order to maximize contrast.
