Yes, that's a real PITA! But you don't have to reboot (most of the 
time), you could try to restart the Finder. That might help.

There is a way to find out via the terminal which process is hogging 
the image, and then kill that process, but right now I don't remember 
the procedure. Anyone else?

In 10.1.5 it was mostly a problem with Toast, but now under 10.3.2 I 
find that some Finder resourse is clutching these images even though 
it was a long time since I used anything on them. Please, Apple, FIX 
this!
