Abstract
An image forming apparatus in which dry developing processing section which carries out a developing processing which makes visible a latent image which has been recorded on a photosensitive material by laminating to each other the photosensitive material on which the latent image has been recorded and a processing material containing a processing agent and carrying out a heat-processing thereon; a data generating section which picks up the image which has been developed and generates digital image data; an exposing section which exposes a heat developing photosensitive material on the basis of the digital image data so that a latent image corresponding to the digital image data is recorded; and a heat developing transfer section which carries out a developing processing which makes visible a latent image which has been recorded on a heat developing photosensitive material by laminating to each other the heat developing photosensitive material which has been exposed and the image receiving material and carrying out a heat-processing thereon, and a transfer processing which transfers the image which has been developed onto the image receiving material, are housed in one casing.
