Hi
when I use the imshow() function, I know that I have the image that I want to display in one of the files in the *MATLAB path.
For instance, when I take a picture with my webcam, I want to save it by using imwrite.
where has the image been written to?

The image gets written to the current directory by default. You can specify an explicit path when you imwrite()

If the file exists in the current directory, IMREAD *can* read it. Please check: "exist('squmatar3.png', 'file')".

IMWRITE writes to the current folder, so these two commands are equivalent:
image = rand(100, 100, 3);
imwrite(image, 'File.png')
imwrite(image, fullfile(cd, 'File.png'))
The later method can be used to specifiy the wanted directory.

suppose if we want to check that if in a variable "R" some image exist like "Image1" then imshow(image2) how to do this?

if ~isempty(R) && ndims(R) < 4 && (isnumeric(R) || islogical(R))
disp('R contains an image');
end
Or did you mean that R contains the name of a file that contains an image?
if exist(R, 'file')
try
imfinfo(R);
%if we got here then R does name an image. So for some reason now we are supposed to display a different image
imshow(image2);
catch
%R names a file that is not an image
end
else
%R does not name a file
end
