Freeing an pixel packet or image

[Bob-O-Rama]

Hi,

I fear this is going to be the "stupidest question ever" but here it goes...

I have a process where I load up a bunch of images, processes them. Along the way I'd like to throw away some of them to save on the RAM requirement. Is there a way to free an image objects memory / discard the image / ...

Thanks!

Image resources are destroyed when an object goes out of scope. Otherwise call delete (e.g. delete _image).
