MATLAB: Automatic Iterative Varible Naming

Question

I am working with a lot of images and my workflow has been designed to load up single images, manipulate the image, and write the image back out to a .jpg file. Unfortunatly I recently realised that .jpg is not a loss-less format and I am currently trying to write my image files to .mat variables.

The image write command was useful since I could append text to the file names. Example: load image1.jpg, cropp image1, save as croppedimage1.jpg.

I would like to restore this functionality to my code usings variable names. It may look something like this….

A = [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10];
for i = 1:10
    B = A(i);
    C = B*2;
    save (i)C   % where the variable name would be 1C.mat, 2C.mat etc.
end

I am not sure if this even the right approach.

Thanks for any suggestions.

FileName=num2str(i,'C%d.mat')
