Abstract:
The invention provides a photothermographic material including: a support and an image-forming layer including a non-photosenisitive silver salt, a photosensitive silver halide, a binder, and a reduction agent disposed on the support, wherein a silver iodide content in the photosensitive silver halide is in a range from 40 mol% to 100 mol%; and an average sphere-equivalent diameter of the photosensitive silver halide is in a range from 0.3 mu m to 5.0 mu m. The photothermographic material may further include a silver iodide complex forming agent as a compound which substantially reduces visible light absorption caused by the photosenisitive silver halide after thermal development. At least 50%, in terms of a projected area, of the photosensitive silver halide may be occupied by tabular silver halide grains having an aspect ratio of from 2 to 50 and being deposited with a silver salt in an epitaxial growth manner.

Abstract:
A photosensitive material which when imagewise exposed to record a latent image thereon is formed with an image by heating with a prescribed processing material superimposed thereon is used as a photographic film or the like, the photosensitive material is exposed to record an image thereon, the exposed photosensitive material is developed by superimposing and heating the photosensitive material and the processing material to form the image on the photosensitive material and then peeling the photosensitive material formed with the image off the processing material, the developed image on the photosensitive material is read with a scanner to obtain image data representing the image, and the image data are subjected to prescribed image processing to generate reproducible digital image data.
Abstract:
A method for forming an image by irradiation of light. Two or more kinds of light beams having different wavelengths are projected onto a photosensitive material by utilizing difference of sensitivities of the photosensitive material to each of the light beams to form an image with density gradation.
Abstract:
A transfer recording medium comprising a transfer ce- cording layer is provided. The transfef recording layer causes an irreversible Cchange in transfer characteristic when provided with plural kinds of energies such as heat, light and pressure energies. Such plural energies are applied to the transfer recording layer with at least one energy applied imagewise to provided a transferable portion or latent Image portion in the transfer recording layer. The transferable portin is then transferred to a medium such as plain paper, The provision of plural kinds of energies aids in realization of high quality multi-color transfer image in a compact apparatus through functional separation of image formation and transfer operations. Further, even a multi-color image can be obtained through a single transfer step,
