Hi all,
I've got a relatively simple program that (among other things) needs to display several images at 1920x1080.

I have added four images (all .jpgs, ~300kb each) along with a few fonts (~20-500kb each) and I am now getting out-of-memory errors.  I would prefer not to increase the allocated memory because this needs to work on low-grade computers.

I would like to, eventually, display dozens of images but it seems I'll need a different strategy to work with them.

Currently, I am loading them as PImages in setup() and calling them throughout the program.  Is there any way to "un-load" the images after I have used them?  They will be displayed in a sequential fashion, so it would be fine to un-load them after display.

thanks!
