An image formation process comprising image exposing a photosensitive element which contains at least a photosensitive silver halide, a binder and a dye donating compound which forms or releases a diffusive dye corresponding or inversely corresponding to an exposure amount, and transferring the diffusive dye formed or released to a dye fixing element by heat development in the presence of a base and/or a precursor thereof, wherein the process further comprises the step of feeding water to said photosensitive element after image exposure, and the photosensitive element is maintained at a temperature of 40 DEG to 90 DEG on undergoing exposure, whereby photographic performance of the heat development photosensitive material exhibits good stability to changes in ambient temperature on undergoing exposure.
