I don't think that should happen. (It would be helpful if you could attach the .png file too)

Try the following, incase:

imdata = imread('mervveee.png');
      RC = imdata(:,:,1);
      GC = imdata(:,:,2);
      BC = imdata(:,:,3);
      im = cat(3,RC,GC,BC);
      isequal(imdata,im)
      imshow(im)
