It should be mean (column 2- column 1)/mean(column 1)??

PSNR is usually stated in dB, and gain is usually stated in dB, so I would expect you to just be using a subtraction like I show. If you use the ratio like you show then the units would be lost. Also since PSNR is based upon log10 you would need to ask whether you should really be dividing the log values as that would correspond mathematically to taking an n-th root of the original values.

meanPsnrCol1 = mean(t{:,2});
meanPsnrCol2 = mean(t{:,3});
where t is your table. Not sure how you're defining gain after that. Maybe
psnrGain = meanPsnrCol2 / meanPsnrCol1;
???

Or
psnrGain = (meanPsnrCol2 - meanPsnrCol1) / meanPsnrCol1;
Did my code give you the mean of your table columns?
