ABSTRACT:
An image forming method for forming an image by exposing a photothermographic material to a laser beam, the laser beam being a laser diode beam having a peak light-emission intensity at a wavelength of 350 nm to 450 nm. The photothermographic material comprises at least a non-photosensitive silver salt, a photosensitive silver halide, a binder and a reducing agent, wherein a silver iodide content of the photosensitive silver halide is 40% by mole or more. The image forming method comprises the steps of:A) conveying the photothermographic material; andB) exposing the photothermographic material to the laser beam by scanning it in a main scanning direction while conveying the photothermographic material, wherein an angle between a plane extending in a normal direction of the photothermographic material including a straight line representing the main scanning direction and a plane extending in an incidence direction of the laser beam including a straight line representing the main scanning direction is 0° to 15°.
