Save figure from GUI with axes and colorbar

I am trying to save a figure from a GUI I made. However, I have tried several methods using code from this forum. Unfortunately, I can't get any of them to keep the axes, colorbar, and colormap of the original plot. Here is the code I am using:

[filename,pathname] = uiputfile('default','Save your GUI settings');
if pathname == 0 %if the user pressed cancelled, then we exit this callback 
 return 
end 
saveDataName = fullfile(pathname,filename); 
    F=getframe(handles.axes1);                
    figure();                                         
    image(F.cdata);                                 
saveas(gcf,saveDataName,'fig')

thank you for your help!

I had come across this file, but I haven't been able to get it to work with my pushbutton. I know this is kinda cheesy, but I found a workaround. I just plot in a new figure window. From there, the user can use "File" > "Save As" to save in their desired format.

I don't know why. It works fine for me, and thousands of others (it's the most downloaded File Exchange file of all). You can show your code if you want us to fix it. Maybe you got the filename wrong or something. Or contact Oliver and ask him.
