Direct positive image forming method comprising developing with a combination of nucleating agents

摘要

A direct positive image forming method comprising development processing an imagewise exposed photographic light-sensitive material comprising a support having thereon at least on photographic emulsion layer containing internal latent image type silver halide grains not having been previously fogged in the presence of a nucleating agent, wherein the nucleating agent comprises at least two kinds of nucleating agents and a ratio of nucleating rates thereof is at least 2.0. In accordance with the method of the present invention, images having both a low minimum density and an extremely high maximum density can be rapidly and stably obtained using a small amount of nucleating agents.
