What is the output of:

which -all image

My guess is this will give you a major hint.

If it doesn't, how are you calling imshow()?

[sabrina]

which -all image gave : C:\Users\hp\Documents\MATLAB\image.m

built-in (C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2008b\toolbox\matlab\specgraph\image) % Shadowed

and about call of "imshow"

a = imread('foto' , 'JPEG');

figure; imshow ( a)

that's it

[Sean de Wolski]

So that's the problem.

C:\Users\hp\Documents\MATLAB\image.m

Is shadowing the builtin image. So change the name of that file to something else.

i don't know , i try to rename the file , still the same error shos up :/ :/

[Sean de Wolski]

rerun:

which -all image

There should be just one result:

What do you mean "try" to rename? Were you able to rename it or not?

Apparently you have your own custom version of image() in C:\Users\hp\Documents\MATLAB\image.m. Why do you have this? If you don't know why, then delete it or rename it image_custom.m. Then try imshow again.
