A workstation including a memory management scheme is disclosed herein. The memory management scheme permits a large number of files to be open on the workstation. The memory management scheme includes a prioritization scheme such that the least relevant files are unloaded from the workstation memory when space is needed to download newly opened files. The memory management scheme further includes saving settings of files unloaded from the workstation memory so that they can be reloaded when needed, with a user perceiving the unloaded files as being continually open.

Method and apparatus for managing memory in a workstation

An image management system has an image database configured to store a plurality of image data files and a workstation coupled to the image database. The workstation includes a memory to store configuration data, a display, and a data processing device. The data processing device is configured to retrieve a selected image data file from the image database generate a scaling factor based on the configuration data, and generate a display signal based on the selected image data file and the scaling factor. The display is configured to receive the display signal and to generate indicia representative of the display signal.
