A photothermographic material comprising a support and an image recording layer comprising an organic silver salt, a silver halide, a reducing agent and a binder, wherein the outermost surface of the image recording layer side of the photothermographic material exhibits a difference in center-line mean roughness of not more than 10 nm between before and after being subjected to imagewise exposure and thermal processing.
A processing method of a photothermographic material comprising the step of:
- subjecting an imagewise exposed a photothermographic material comprising a support and an image recording layer comprising an organic silver salt, a silver halide, a reducing agent and a binder to and thermal processing by use of a thermal processing machine, wherein the outermost surface of the image recording layer side of the photothermographic material exhibits a difference in center-line mean roughness of not more than 10 nm between before and after being subjected to thermal processing.
