Image forming method including heating step

Abstract

Abstract A method for forming an image which has a step of heating an image-forming material in the presence of a compound represented by formula (I), whereby unevenness of image density and increase in fog due to fluctuation of development temperature, which have so far been caused in heat-developable photosensitive materials, can be prevented from occurring: ##STR1## wherein R represents a hydrogen atom, or a group selected from a class consisting of groups represented by formulae (A) to (C) ##STR2## wherein 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 heterocyclic group, an alkyloxy group, an aryloxy group, an alkylthio group, an arylthio group, or a substituted or unsubstituted amino group, or R 11 and R 12 combine with each other to form a 5- 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 agent moiety; n represents 0 or an integer; and Z represents atoms forming a benzene ring.
