Do you mean like this:

clc;    % Clear the command window.
close all;  % Close all figures (except those of imtool.)
clear;  % Erase all existing variables. Or clearvars if you want.
workspace;  % Make sure the workspace panel is showing.
format long g;
format compact;
fontSize = 15;

%===============================================================================
% Get the name of the image the user wants to use.
baseFileName = 'originalimage.jpg';
% Get the full filename, with path prepended.
folder = pwd
fullFileName = fullfile(folder, baseFileName);

% Check if file exists.
if ~exist(fullFileName, 'file')
  % The file doesn't exist -- didn't find it there in that folder.
  % Check the entire search path (other folders) for the file by stripping off the folder.
  fullFileNameOnSearchPath = baseFileName; % No path this time.
  if ~exist(fullFileNameOnSearchPath, 'file')
    % Still didn't find it.  Alert user.
    errorMessage = sprintf('Error: %s does not exist in the search path folders.', fullFileName);
    uiwait(warndlg(errorMessage));
    return;
  end
end

% Read in demo image.
rgbImage = imread(fullFileName);
% Get the dimensions of the image.
[imageRows, imageColumns, numberOfColorChannels] = size(rgbImage);
% Display the original image.
subplot(3, 3, 1);
imshow(rgbImage, []);

% Set up figure properties:
% Enlarge figure to full screen.
set(gcf, 'Units', 'Normalized', 'OuterPosition', [0 0 1 1]);
% Get rid of tool bar and pulldown menus that are along top of figure.
set(gcf, 'Toolbar', 'none', 'Menu', 'none');
% Give a name to the title bar.
