There is provided a method for a silver powder capable of decreasing the viscosity of a photosensitive paste using the silver powder and improving the film state, sensitivity and linearity of the paste even if the particle diameter of the silver powder is small. The surface of a silver powder produced by a wet reducing method is smoothed by a surface smoothing process for mechanically causing particles of the silver powder to collide with each other, and thereafter, silver agglomerates are removed by classification. The surface smoothing process is carried out by putting a dried silver powder into an apparatus, which is capable of mechanically fluidizing particles, e.g., a mixer or mill such as a cylindrical high-speed mixer, for mechanically causing the particles to collide with each other.
