imread>get_format_info error
Show older comments
I = imread('Jaguar.bmp');
when I try to execute this line on any image this error occures
Error using imread>get_format_info (line 541)
Unable to determine the file format.
Error in imread (line 389)
fmt_s = get_format_info(fullname);
Error in Untitled (line 1)
I = imread('Jaguar.bmp');
I added the images path to the default pathes and tried like 10 solutions still no answer.
How can I read .bmp, .jpg, .png image files?

Experiment with
restoredefaultpath; rehash toolboxcache
and try again.
If that works then you have third party software installed that is interfering.

"I added the images path to the default pathes"
Not a good idea. Much safer is to give the full path to imread:
imread('C:\somewhere\somefolder\Jaguar.bmp');
But yes, as Walter says sounds like something is interfering with the default behaviour of matlab (which can happen if you add random folders to the path).

Can you please test the following:
clearvars, close all
clc
imwrite(rand(100,100,3),'test.bmp');
img = imread('test.bmp');
imshow(img)
If this succeeds and shows a noisy image, then we should have a closer look at your images.

Attach the image file (doesn't matter if you can't open it) and we'll take a look.
