You use saveas(...) function to save picture and imread(...) function to read 
the image into a matrix or similar.

You create figure with:
  h = figure;
So that you have a handle for the saveas(...) function. Also remember to chose 
format and add filename ending into filename. Suitable format is png for 
lossless compression or jpg which lose some information, typically high 
frequency sharp edges in case file size is important. To read file into matrix, 
may return several parameters:
  saveas(h, ...)
  [...] = imread(filename)

If in doubt about syntax:
  help saveas
  help imread

Then you have data for in the returned parameters you compare for their 
similarities but what kind of measure you have for similarities I have no idea.


Remember reading about evolutionary algorithms at spring time then it was nice 
weather, sitting inside programming generations of evolutionary algorithms.
