Hi again, ImageJ-users

I'm quite sure that I had an older version of Threshold Colour (as last modified in 2005 - info) so I downloaded version 1.9 to be sure to have the most recent version.

Also, I found out that my Intel Core Duo processor is not 64-bit compliant, and as I somewhere in the past trashed the 32-bit version of ImageJ, I downloaded the full ImageJ package and installed and updated both the 32 and 64 bit version, though both should work independently of each other.

So far everything seems to work fine. I've been able to change the values of 'Memory & Threads' to 1000 MB / two threads, and it seems to be working just fine.

The only thing I miss now, is the possibility of saving/loading values in Threshold Colour pane, but that's something quite else.

All your advices have really been appreciated, thanks a lot!

/Dan

Have you run the plugin with the memory monitor? If so, is the memory released
after finishing the plugin?

Not sure what version of theplugin you are using, but try 1.9 from here:

Bob Dougherty found a fix earlier this year to a thread  being  kept running
after closing the plugin. Maybe memory was not being released after closing
it. Please report if if that version resolves the problem.
