 🛠️ Bug fixes:
 
+* When updating image parameters (`ImageParam`) from the associated item object:
+  * If `xmin`, `xmax`, `ymin`, `ymax` attributes are not yet set (i.e. `None`), do not update them with the image data bounds
+  * Previous behavior was to update them with the image data bounds, which was leading to breaking the automatic bounds update when the image data is updated
 * [Issue #24](https://github.com/PlotPyStack/PlotPy/issues/24) - Colormap: side effect on image axes when changing the colormap
 * [Issue #23](https://github.com/PlotPyStack/PlotPy/issues/23) - Windows: Image `_scaler` engine performance regression
 * PySide6 compatibility issues:
