Provided are image forming apparatuses, image forming methods, and process cartridges using a toner that is excellent in low temperature fixing ability, hot offset resistance, and storage stability, and also generate less odor, and thus that can provide high quality images with superior fixing ability, far from tone change with time, and less likely to occur abnormal images such as density-drop and background smear. The image forming apparatuses comprise a latent electrostatic image bearing member, a charging unit, an exposing unit, a developing unit, a transfer unit, and a fixing unit, wherein the toner comprises a binder resin and a colorant, the binder resin comprises a polyester resin prepared by condensation polymerization between an alcohol component that contains an aliphatic polyvalent alcohol and a carboxylic acid component that contains (meth)acrylic acid-modified rosin.
