Hello, I am trying to output the name of an image file I onto a figure that shows the picture. The name is obtained from and checks out OK in the matlab window.
out2 =
NoSerialNumber_R03C02_3-Swath1_C5_T05_red.tif.
However, it appears on the figure weird
Im assuming its to do with the underscores - how can I correct it? Thanks

By default the interpreter of text objects is set to 'tex'. Set it to 'none', i.e.
set(obj,'Interpreter','none')

Be careful when setting the defaults. It's easy to forget that did it for all cases when 'Interpreter' is a valid property. It's better to call it explicitly for the specific object.
You can use the properties directly with text():
text(2,-95,out1, 'color', 'b','FontSize',6, 'Interpreter','none');

Without adjusting your interpreter setting (keep LaTeX interpreter on), you can use backslash just before the underscore to keep the underscore as underscore and not TeX command of subscript:
e.g.
title(NoSerialNumber\_R03C02\_3-Swath1_C5\_T05\_red.tif)
