A method for forming images which comprises imagewise exposing a recording element comprising a support having directly or on a subbing layer thereon, as a recording layer, a vacuum deposited layer containing at least about 20% by volume of an organic substance, adhering a strippable film on the surface of the recording layer prior to or after the imagewise exposure, and peeling apart the strippable film from the recording layer after the imagewise exposure, whereby the exposed areas of the recording layer remain on the support and the non-exposed areas are transferred onto the strippable film. |
