how to get data of one image in a Matrix of images

After applying a gabor filter, I have a matrix 5X8 of images, I want to use the image located at position (5,5). how can I save or assign it in a new variable.?

The source code that display this matrix 5X8 images is

for i = 1:u
    for j = 1:v        
        subplot(u,v,(i-1)*v+j)    
        imshow(abs(gaborResult{i,j}),[]);
    end
end

The results

From my knowledge I can display this image at position (5,5) using the imshow

imshow(abs(gaborResult{5,5}),[]);

but I would like any help on how I can save this in a variable for further use... any help of yours is appreciated

 X = abs(gaborResult{5,5});

Thank you!, it really save the image, but when I display it doesn't look like the one using

imshow(abs(gaborResult{5,5}),[]);

The results using your code

X = abs(gaborResult{5,5});
imshow(X)

Can you suggest me any other?

You aren't comparing the same call to imshow there. Your first one contains a [] 2nd argument that the 2nd doesn't. I don't use imshow myself so I don't know what kind of difference this makes, but it is an obvious difference in your comparison.

imshow(img, []) scales the image prior to display so that the min value of the image maps to 0 and the max value maps to 255 and the values in between are scaled linearly between 1 and 254. If you have a floating point image, and any values are above 1 then they will display as white and values less than 0 will display as black. This is because it expects floating point images to be in the range 0-1 and if they're not it clips them to black or white. This is why you use [] -- to see the entire dynamic range.

Thank you all!! Thorsten and Image Analyst for your additive comments.. Now, I got good results
