Hi, I'm currently pursuing a project which requires working with
plots. I've made it so each time I update an array a heatmap is
created and saved (Julia Makie) in a 'curr.png' file.

One my of emacs windows is showing that file, however, if I update the
image again the image on the buffer will only update if I select the
buffer. How to make it update itself?

Did you tried `global-auto-revert-non-file-buffers t`? It might work.

Didn't help.

Do you have `auto-revert-mode` turned on in the image buffer?

That worked! Thanks.
