Disclosed is a photothermographic material comprising an image forming layer containing at least a light-sensitive
silver halide, a light-insensitive organic silver salt, a
reducing agent and a binder and a non-image forming layer on at least one surface of a support, wherein 50% by weight or more of the binder is a hydrophilic binder, the light-sensitive material further comprising a
metal phthalocyanine compound represented by the following formula (PC-1): wherein M represents a
metal atom, R1, R4, R5, R8, R9, R12, R13 and R16 respectively represent a
hydrogen atom or a
substituent where at least one of R1, R4, R5, R8, R9, R12, R13 and R16 is an
electron attractive group and R2, R3, R6, R7, R10, R11, R14 and R15 respectively represent a
hydrogen atom or a
substituent.
