Question

This is my original image:

But when I load it up on MATLAB and use imshow() on it, this is how I see it:

This is the code I’m using:

I=imread('D:\Matty\pout.gif')
 imshow(I)

Answer 1

GIF is indexed format, and each image can have its own colormap. So you need to read the colormap together with the image:

[I, Imap] = imread('D:\Matty\pout.gif');
imshow(I,Imap)

I’ve tested it on your image and it works very well. i don’t understand what was the problem @Lucas described in his answer.
