How do you deal the third dimension of a 3-d array to individual 2-d arrays?

Right now I have

 m =imread(image);
        red = im(:,:,1);
        green = im(:,:,2);
        blue = im(:,:,3);

How do I combine the red = ... green =, blue =... steps into one online?

Why do you want to do this? Your code now is simple, neat, and efficient: what is your aim?

Here is a possible way to do that,

im = num2cell(imread(image), [1 2]);
[red, green, blue] = im{:};
