Abstract
Abstract An image-forming method which comprises: imagewise exposing a light-sensitive material comprising a light-sensitive layer provided on a support wherein the light-sensitive layer contains silver halide, a reducing agent, a polymerizable compound and a photo-polymerization initiator; simultaneously or thereafter developing the light-sensitive material to polymerize the polymerizable compound within the area where the latent image of the silver halide has been formed; pressing the light-sensitive material on an image-receiving material to transfer unpolymerized polymerizable compound to the image-receiving material; and irradiating the image-receiving material with a light.
