hi, we can use "imfinfo" to get information about the color image files and subsequently read using "imread".however, if the file is say "tiff" and the type is RGB, the imfinfo tells that file format is RGB. but, can we know if the file format is BGR using imfinfo, that is would imfinfo work if the file format was BGR? similarly, would imread store the image as BGR if the input image as BGR? also, can we know if the format is Planar or interleaved?
for example, in the code below, I would extract red image if the format was RGB, but if the actual format was BGR but imfinfo still shows this as RGB and imread also does the same, I would actually extract Blue image using I_rgb(:,:,1)
I_info= imfinfo(strcat(pth,'pic1.tif'));
file_format = I_info.PhotometricInterpretation;
I_rgb= imread(strcat(pth,'pic1.tif'),'tiff');
%***get individual components*****
I_R= I_rgb(:,:,1);

I am curious to know the source of these BGR images. I believe the ordering RGB is fixed for the Tiff file. If a writer conceptually changed the order, then unless they signal this in some additional meta-data in the file, there is no way any reader could differentiate it from a regular RGB file.

If the photometric interpretation tag in the TIFF file says RGB, then IMFINFO will report just that. IMREAD and the Tiff class will hand off the image data to you with what is presumed to be the red channel in the first layer, the green channel in the 2nd layer, and the blue channel in the 3rd layer.
If the samples in the file aren't actually stored as "RGBRGBRGB..." then you would have to reinterpret the image data yourself.
Take a look at the 'PlanarConfiguration' field to see if the TIFF is planar or interleaved.

hi, so you mean first check the file (say in Irfanview) to know
correct sequence and then extract individual planes in matlab accordingly?

You could view it in MATLAB as well (image/imshow). The format itself does not have any means of flagging a non-standard color ordering, so this information is 'external' to the file.
