Abstract

Abstract An image-forming method which comprises: imagewise exposing a light-sensitive material comprising a light-sensitive layer containing silver halide, a reducing agent and a polymerizable compound having a viscosity of not lower than 100 cP at 25°C provided on a support, to form a latent image of the silver halide; simultaneously or thereafter developing the light-sensitive material to polymerize the polymarizabte compound within the area where the latent image of the silver halide has been formed; and pressing the light-sensitive material on an image-receiving material at a pressure of not lower than 100 kg/cm 2 to transfer the unpolymerized polymerizable compound to the image-receiving material.
