Yes, this appears to be a big pain in the ass. The only thing I've found  to do  
is remove the image from ProjectBuilder and it should be removed from IB. Then  
simply add it again. This seems to suck.

Anyone else have any ideas?

This doesn't seem to work.  Even if you remove the image with PB,
Interface Builder will not let you add another image with the same name.
Adding the image in Project Builder only places the .tiff file in the
project directory.  The copy in the .nib file remains unchanged.

I suppose one could edit the .nib file by hand...

One last thing.  Ed (support@gateway.vvi.com) (sorry Ed, you didn't
send me your last name, and I can't seem to 'finger' you right now)
pointed out that if you replace the file, and go ahead and build the app
then the correct image will be placed in the application.  Only IB will
display the old one.

This is clearly what the internet was intended for.
Me submitting problems, following up my own post
with more questions, and then presenting solutions.
Oh well..

I figured out how to get IB to display a modified image.

(1) replace the image in PB by, for example double clicking on the
	suitcase icon, and adding the modified image (which presumably
	has the same name as the old image).

(2) save the project

(3) QUIT IB!

(4) Now when you open the .nib file IB will display the correct
	image.

thanks again Ed!
