You could also remove the unwanted files before the loop.  I haven't tested the 
code below, but the idea is straight forward.

files = readdir (pwd ());
[~,  ~,  suffix] = cellfun (@fileparts, files, "uniformoutput", false);
files = files(ismember (suffix, {".png", ".gif"});

for n = 1:numel(files)
# process the files here
end
