An aqueous-developable chromogenic photographic heat-transferable non-aqueous dye-diffusion-transfer photographic element is disclosed, wherein said element comprises radiation sensitive silver halide, a dye-providing compound that forms or releases a heat-transferable image dye upon reaction of said compound with the oxidation product of a primary amine developing agent, a hydrophilic binder, and a thermal solvent for facilitating non-aqueous diffusion transfer according to formula (I) <IMAGE> (I) wherein AH is a hydrogen bond donating group with an aqueous pKa value for proton loss of greater than 6; L1 and L2 are each independently divalent linking groups consisting of groups of 1 to 12 atoms or are independently absent; m is 1, 2, or 3; Q comprises a group of 2 to 15 carbon atoms selected from the group consisting of aromatic rings, alkyl chains, alkyl rings, or ring-chain combinations, optionally substituted with substituents, Z, consisting of alkyl groups or halogens; B is a hydrogen bond accepting group with an aqueous pKa value for proton gain of less than 6; n is 1 or 2; the groups AH and B cannot hydrogen bond to form a ring of either 5 or 6 atoms; R is an alkyl, aryl and alkylaryl group of from 1 to 18 carbon atoms; the calculated log of the octanol/water partition coefficient (clogP) is greater than 3 and less than 10.
