Zusammenfassung:The present invention provides an image receiving layer containing physical development nuclei having an average diameter less than 6nm and wherein the number of nuclei having a diameter more than 4.5nm is less than 15% of the total number of nuclei contained in said receiving layer. Said image receiving layer may be provided in an imaging element or in a separate receiving element. Images of high density, good contrast and sharpness can be obtained. Furthermore processing can be carried out in a wide temperature range without loss of image quality. The image receiving layer of the present invention can also be used for making lithographic printing plates having good printing properties.
