The invention provides a photothermographic material containing an image
forming layer having at least a photosensitive silver halide, a
non-photosensitive organic silver salt, a reducing agent, and a binder on
at least one side of a support, an outermost layer on the same side of
the support as the image forming layer, and a non-photosensitive
intermediate layer between the outermost layer and the image forming
layer, wherein 50% by weight or more of a binder of the
non-photosensitive intermediate layer is formed by a hydrophobic polymer
latex, the outermost layer has a mean thickness of from 0.1 .mu.m to 0.45
.mu.m, and the non-photosensitive intermediate layer has a variation
coefficient of a thickness distribution of 50% or less based on a mean
thickness of the non-photosensitive intermediate layer. A
photothermographic material, which exhibits reduced image unevenness and
excellent image storage stability, is provided.
