A photothermographic material including, on at least one surface of a
support, at least a photosensitive silver halide containing a silver
iodide at 40 mol % or more, a non-photosensitive organic silver salt, and
a reducing agent, wherein the photothermographic material contains two or
more kinds of the reducing agent at the mixing ratio to satisfy at least
one of a), b), c) and d): a) a difference between a sensitivity or b) a
difference between a maximum density is 0.10 or less, when developed at
120.degree. C. for 10 sec and a sensitivity when developed at 120.degree.
C. for 14 sec; c) a difference between a sensitivity or d) a difference
between a maximum density is 0.10 or less, when developed at 117.degree.
C. for 12 sec and a sensitivity when developed at 123.degree. C. for 12
sec. An image forming method using the photothermographic material is
also provided.
