Abstract
Abstract A process for forming an image comprising a heating step is described, wherein a photographic material is heated in the presence of a compound represented by formula (I) ##STR1## wherein X represents an atomic group completing a carbocyclic aromatic ring or a heterocyclic aromatic ring; R 1 is selected from groups represented by formulae (A), (B), and (C) ##STR2## in which R 11 and R 12 each represents a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl group, an aralkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic group, an alkyloxy or aryloxy group, an alkylthio or arylthio group, or a substituted or unsubstituted amino group, or R 11 and R 12 together form a 5-membered or 6-membered ring; R 2 represents a group selected from the groups represented by R 11 ; R 1 and R 2 together form a 5-membered or 6-membered ring; Q represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, or an aryl group; TIME represents a timing group; PUG represents a photographically useful group; and n represents 0 or an integer.
