Abstract (en)

A method is provided for making negative lithographic images or direct-positive images by the steps of image-wise exposing a photographic light-sensitive silver halide material comprising a support, at least one internal latent image-type silver halide emulsion layer (in the case of direct-positive materials) or surface latent image-type silver halide emulsion layer (in the case of lithographic materials) and development-nucleating amounts of a compound or a precursor thereof, said compound having at least one quaternary heterocyclic ring system comprising at least three rings including a dihydropyridinium ring wherein carbon-nitrogen and carbon-carbon double bonds are also part of an aromatic ring being one of said three rings and wherein said double bonds and nitrogen atom in said dihydropyridinium ring are incorporated into annelated conjugated ring systems; and developing said exposed photographic material in an alkaline surface developer, wherein said precursor is rapidly converted into a ring system as defined hereinbefore.
