Abstract
An image forming method using a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material is disclosed The image forming method comprises the steps of (1) imagewise exposing to light a silver halide photographic material comprising a support having thereon a photographic layer including a yellow image forming silver halide emulsion layer, a magenta image forming silver halide emulsion layer and a cyan image forming silver halide emulsion layer, and (2) developing the silver halide photographic light-sensitive material with an amplifying development, in which silver halide grains contained each of the color forming layers have a silver chloride content of not less than 80 mole-%, and the number of silver halide grains per unit area in the magenta silver halide emulsion layer is larger than that in the yellow image forming silver halide emulsion layer and that in the cyan image forming silver halide emulsion layer, and the number of silver halide grains per unit area in the magenta image forming silver halide emulsion is 1.5 to 2.1 times of that in the cyan image forming silver halide emulsion layer, and the total amount of silver halide in the color forming layers is within the range of from 0.01 g/m.sup.2 to 0.15 g/m.sup.2 in terms of silver.
