How can I accurately display the colors of this indexed TIF image in MATLAB?

I have a collection of images which are TIFs. I am attaching the output of iminfo for one of the files in question (iminfo.txt).

The problem I am trying to solve is that Windows image viewer displays the files differently than MATLAB, as shown HERE. I want the images to look as they do in the windows image viewer, and I will be incorporating them into a GUI later.

The above image is the result of this code:

overallImage = imread('trace7_ave.tif');
show_TIF_GUI, image(overallImage)
axis image

I have also tried this code, in which the tif displays as a completely black square (which is the same thing that happens if I try to open the tif in GIMP; I am sure this is no coincidence.) This is modeled after an example in the help file for imread:

[X,cmap] = imread('trace7_ave.tif');
imshow(X,cmap);

And finally, I have tried the following code, which displays in greyscale:

Y = imread('trace7_ave.tif');
imshow(Y);

I also understand that image and imshow are different commands, but you will see I have tried variations of both above. My guess is that I need to use imshow so I can handle the color mapping correctly, but I am unsure how to do that.

The answer was in the MATLAB documentation; it was a matter or choosing the correct methodology.

The solution was to model my code after the following:

t = Tiff('example.tif','r');

Read the image data and the associated alpha matting.

[RGB,A] = readRGBAImage(t);

Display the image.

imshow(RGB)
