How to extract RGB matrices from stacked TIFF file?

I have a (512x512x3xN) image array where 3 corresponds to the R,G,B channels, and N corresponds to the number of images. How can I extract the R,G,B channels from each image?
I will eventually want to compute mean and stdev for each R,G,B channel of each of the N images and put these into a txt file.
Thanks

squeeze(mean(YourArray, [1 2]))
squeeze(std(YourArray, [], [1 2]))
These should give you a 3 x N array of values that are the means or std over each color plane in each image . There is no need to extract each color plane individually.
If your MATLAB is too old to support multiple dimensions, then you can always do
squeeze( mean(reshape(YourArray, [], 3, size(YourArray,4))) )
squeeze( std(reshape(YourArray, [], 3, size(YourArray,4))) )
This reshapes each color plane of each image into a single column and processes each column.

N = 5;
YourArray = randi([0 255], 512, 512, 3, N, 'uint8');
squeeze(mean(YourArray, [1 2]))
squeeze(std(double(YourArray), [], [1 2]))
ans =

So that is 3 x 5 output arrays when there were 5 panes.
... In other words the code already does what you are asking for.

not sure.
% A = your matrix after reading the image file
im = cell(1,n);
for i = 1:N
im{i} = A(:,:,:,i) % im{i} = individual image number(i)
end
