A positive-working photosensitive composition for use in making an imageable element comprises one or more vinyl copolymers wherein said vinyl copolymer are homopolymer or copolymer containing monomers comprising at least two functional groups such as HOOC-C=C-CONH-R, and may further comprise a converter substance for converting radiation into heat. The converter substance may be selected to have an absorption spectrum that is optimized to absorb at the wavelength of imaging radiation. The composition may be coated onto a suitable substrate to create a lithographic printing precursor. The precursor may be imagewise irradiated with radiation and optionally developed with a developer liquid to produce a lithographic printing master. A positive-working lithographic printing precursor may be prepared using the composition.
