Memory Management and UIImageViews in NIB files?

Loading images via the NIB can be problematic -- it's known to 'leak' due to caching behaviour, but this is by design -- please see this question . This caching is useful for showing small images in UITables (high performance), but not good for loading a single huge image into your UI.

In scenario 2 you should also release backimage before to set it to nil...

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
