Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an apparatus for thermally developing a photosensitive element, in particular, to control vapor and a condensate produced during thermal treating of the photosensitive element. SOLUTION: The apparatus is equipped with: a means to heat the exterior surface of a photosensitive element at a heating station to a temperature enough to partly liquefy or to generate vapor in one or more compositions in the layer; and a means to collect the vapor at the heating station.
