Abstract
A heat developable photosensitive image-recording element is described comprising photosensitive silver halide, either as the only source of silver present or in association with a substantially light-insensitive source of silver, a reducing agent, a silver solvent and an image-receiving layer including silver nucleating material. The total amount of silver present is arranged in two adjacent discrete layers, one of which includes the silver reducing agent and the other of which does not. The image-recording element provides an image having significantly increased image density upon exposure and photographic processing.
