Unloading Images

An image is unloaded automatically every time you load or import a new image into Jim. However, you may find it necessary to explicitly unload an image if, for example, you want to display a movie, while at the same time displaying a static image. If you receive a message saying that a new image cannot be loaded because Jim is out of memory, then unload an image from other display frames that have loaded images.

To unload an image, select Unload ... from the File menu: file_unload.

If the image has unsaved ROIs, or has been edited, you will be asked whether you wish to save any changes, in the usual way.

Reloading Images

You may wish to reload an image if it has been processed using an one of Jim's tools, or another external tool so that the image on disk has been changed. If you use one of the usual methods to load an image, and it is already displayed, then the image will not be reloaded.

To explictly reload an image which is already displayed, select Reload from the File menu: file_reload.
