Method for forming an image employing acetylene silver compounds

A method for forming an image comprising heating a light-sensitive material comprising a support having thereon at least a light-sensitive silver halide, a dye providing substance, a binder, and an acetylene silver compound, simultaneously with or after imagewise exposure thereof in the presence of water and at least one of a base and a base precursor, thereby transferring a diffusible dye thus formed or released to a dye fixing layer, wherein water is supplied to the dye-fixing layer, the light-sensitive material or both the dye-fixing layer and the light-sensitive material and then the dye-fixing material and the light-sensitive material are heated to heat develop the light-sensitive material and simultaneously transfer the diffusible dye thus formed or released to the dye-fixing layer.
