image quality goes off when GETIMAGE is used in MATLAB

In my GUI I've so many operations to perform on image. Including crop,_flip_,_resize_ etc., below code shows some of such functions. In my opening function i took the image from previous window

    function Pre_processing_OpeningFcn(hObject, eventdata, handles, varargin)
    handles.output = hObject;
    fname = getappdata(0, 'fname');
    axes(handles.axes1);
    imshow(fname);
    [path,name,ext,ver] = fileparts(fname);
    handles.fname = strcat(name,ext);
    [handles.queryx, handles.querymap] = imread(fname);
    guidata(hObject, handles);

For flip

    function Flip_H_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
    a = getimage(handles.axes1);
     hflip = flipdim(a,2);
    axes(handles.axes1);
        imshow(hflip);
    guidata(hObject, handles);

For rotate

    function rotate_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
    a = getimage(handles.axes1);
    Ra = get(handles.angle, 'string');
    Na = str2num(Ra);
    rotate = imrotate(a,Na);
    axes(handles.axes1);
    imshow(rotate);
    guidata(hObject, handles);

I've shown only 2 functions, but so many similar functions are there in my GUI. Figure shown below is original image http://s1273.photobucket.com/user/Chethan_tv/media/untitled_zps68c1621d.jpg.html

The moment i press flip (for example) then image quality goes off as shown below http://s1273.photobucket.com/user/Chethan_tv/media/untitled1_zpsc748c3a7.jpg.html

mages I'm using are of 8 bit depth and BMP format. why is this change?

Before using this getimgae i was using ind2rgb to convert my bitmap images to RGB. At that time i was getting correct output.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18064669/updating-data-within-same-gui-in-matlab But I had this problem.

    fname = getappdata(0, 'fname');
    [a, map] = imread(fname);
    x = ind2rgb(a, map);

i just replaced above lines with getimage
