Display different images in multiple MATLAB GUI windows - image

Question

I am creating a program in matlab that at some points will have two windows open. Both windows try to display a different image via:
matlabImage = imread('C:...SetupA.jpg');
imshow(matlabImage);
axis off
axis image
But what ends up happening is sometimes the image from the second GUI window to open will override the image in the first GUI window until it is closed, and the second GUI window displays nothing. I have made sure there are no reused image variable names. What can I do to prevent this?
Edit: so here are the two GUI windows that interfere with each other
function varargout = ClampRef(varargin)
%Function that displays an image with multiple reference points highlighted
%This needs to have an option to stay open while the program continues
gui_Singleton = 1;
gui_State = struct('gui_Name', mfilename, ...
'gui_Singleton', gui_Singleton, ...
'gui_OpeningFcn', #ClampRef_OpeningFcn, ...
'gui_OutputFcn', #ClampRef_OutputFcn, ...
'gui_LayoutFcn', [] , ...
'gui_Callback', []);
if nargin && ischar(varargin{1})
gui_State.gui_Callback = str2func(varargin{1});
end
if nargout
[varargout{1:nargout}] = gui_mainfcn(gui_State, varargin{:});
else
gui_mainfcn(gui_State, varargin{:});
end
function ClampRef_OpeningFcn(hObject, eventdata, handles, varargin)
matlabImage5 = imread('C:...reference.jpg');
imshow(matlabImage5)
axis off
axis image
handles.output = hObject;
guidata(hObject, handles);
set(handles.pushbutton2,'enable','off')
function varargout = ClampRef_OutputFcn(hObject, eventdata, handles)
uiwait();
global valueout;
varargout{1} = valueout;
% --- Executes on button press in pushbutton1.
%This is a continue button, which enables the close button but continues the
%program
function pushbutton1_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
global valueout;
valueout = 'Finished';
set(handles.pushbutton2,'enable','on')
set(handles.pushbutton1,'enable','off')
uiresume();
% --- Executes on button press in pushbutton2. This is the close button
function pushbutton2_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
closereq();
and the second one:
function varargout = OHMgui1(varargin)
%Calculator like gui to take in the electrical test value while showing an
%image that shows where the probe must be placed for the test
gui_Singleton = 1;
gui_State = struct('gui_Name', mfilename, ...

'gui_OpeningFcn', #OHMgui1_OpeningFcn, ...
'gui_OutputFcn', #OHMgui1_OutputFcn, ...
'gui_LayoutFcn', [] , ...
'gui_Callback', []);
if nargin && ischar(varargin{1})
gui_State.gui_Callback = str2func(varargin{1});

I tried using figure, imshow() but it still did not resolve the issue
