Trouble saving image to tif format

I have a cellarray that contains images(4 in this case)

imgArray=
[1040x1393 uint16]
[1040x1393 uint16]
[1040x1393 uint16]
[1040x1393 uint16]

Each one can be displayed on an axes component by the use of a scroll bar by indexing the cellarray.

I have a save button, that loops through the array and I am wanting to save them as tifs. The code that Geoff kindly showed me was,

for k=1:length(imgArray)
     imwrite(imgArray{k},sprintf('image%04d.tif',k);
 end

This indeed saves the files, but I can't then open them with any software. I have also tried to open them using matlab

[Filename,Pathname]=uigetfile('*.tif','Select an Image');
fname=[Pathname,Filename]
figure
imshow(fname,[]);

but get the error message

This is mentioned in the documentation for imshow, in a Note under the DisplayRange input argument section:

"If you call imshow with a filename, then you must specify the DisplayRange name-value argument."

In other words, imshow(filename,[]) won't work, but imshow(filename,'DisplayRange',[]) will.

Example:

% create a cell array of matrices:
imgArray = {randi([0,65535],1040,1393,'uint16')};

% write the matrices to image files:
for k = 1:numel(imgArray)
    imwrite(imgArray{k},sprintf('image%04d.tif',k));
end

filename = sprintf('image%04d.tif',1);

imshow(filename,'DisplayRange',[]) % works

imshow(filename,[]) % gives an error like you got
