A photothermographic material having, on at least one side of a support,
an image forming layer including at least a photosensitive silver halide,
a non-photosensitive organic silver salt, a reducing agent, and a binder,
wherein 1) the binder includes a polymer latex having a monomer component
represented by formula (M):
CH.sub.2.dbd.CR.sup.01--CR.sup.02.dbd.CH.sub.2 Formula (M) 2) the
photothermographic material includes a compound represented by formula
(SA): ##STR00001## and 3) the photothermographic material further
includes a metal phthalocyanine dye represented by formula (PC-1):
##STR00002## wherein at least one of R.sup.1, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, R.sup.8,
R.sup.9, R.sup.12, R.sup.13, and R.sup.16 is an electron-attracting
group. The invention provides a photothermographic material which
produces an image free from unevenness in color tone, having high image
quality, and is excellent in image storability.
