The present invention provides a photothermographic material having, on one side of a support, an image forming layer including at least a photosensitive silver halide, a non-photosensitive organic silver salt, a reducing agent, and a binder, and at least one non-photosensitive layer which is disposed on the same side of the support as the image forming layer and farther from the support than the image forming layer, wherein the non-photosensitive layer includes at least a copolymer latex of an acrylate or methacrylate having a fluorine atom and a monomer component having a hydrophobic group, and the surface of the side having the image forming layer includes convex portions having a height of 1.5 μm or higher in an amount of from 20 to 2000 per 1 mm2. A photothermographic material which exhibits excellent film physical properties and high image quality is provided.
A photothermographic material comprising, on one side of a support, an image forming layer comprising at least a photosensitive silver halide, a non-photosensitive organic silver salt, a reducing agent, and a binder, and at least one non-photosensitive layer which is an outermost layer disposed on the same side of the support as the image forming layer and farther from the support than the image forming layer, wherein the non-photosensitive layer comprises at least a copolymer latex of an acrylate or methacrylate having a fluorine atom and a monomer component having a hydrophobic group, gelatin as a binder at a content of 0.3 g/m2 to 5.0 g/m2 and a matting agent having a mean particle size of from 2.0 μm to 8.0 μm at a content of 0.0001 g/m2 to 0.08 g/m2, and the surface of the side having the image forming layer comprises convex portions having a height of 1.5 μm or higher in an amount of from 20 to 2000 per 1 mm2.
