Abstract: In a process for forming an image comprising;(i) forming a latent image on a latent image bearing member comprising an organic photoconductive photosensitive member;(ii) forming a magnetic brush with a two-component developer comprising a toner and a carrier on a developer conveying support arranged as opposed to the latent image bearing member; and(iii) developing the latent image by brushing it with the magnetic brush in a developing region;the improvement wherein an absolute value of a maximum potential (V) of a charge for forming the latent image is from 400 to 700, a minimum value of a gap between the photosensitive member and the developer conveying support is from 0.30 to 0.65 mm, the carrier comprises a core material and a polymer comprising a monomer component represented by the followng formula (I), (II) or (III): ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 each represent a hydrogen atom or a methyl group; each of n and p represents an integer of 1 to 8; each of m and q represents an integer of 1 to 19; X.
