Abstract: A silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material having, on a support, at least each one light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layers containing yellow-, magenta-, or cyan-dye-forming-coupler, and at least one light-insensitive hydrophilic colloid layer, wherein at least one of the dye-forming couplers is a dye-forming coupler that forms an azomethine dye having a solubility of 1×10?8 mol/L to 5×10?3 mol/L in ethyl acetate; and an image forming method using the light-sensitive material.

Abstract: The present invention presents an optical recording medium capable of forming visible images of excellent visibility by using laser light, and a method for manufacturing the same. An optical recording medium has a first substrate on which an information recording layer and an image recording layer are formed in this order, and a second substrate formed on the image recording layer, in which a surface of the image recording layer side of the second substrate is roughened.
