How I can pause a GUI for next 20 iterations, while main program should run for every iteration.

Hi everyone!

I have a code, in which I am applying noise reduction techniques to set of 450 images. I want save each image after noise reduction, which is working. But I have two GUI two adjust weghting factors of each image for bone as well as soft tissue. I do not want to run these GUIs for each image, I just want to set weights for one image and apply the same weights to next 20 images using these GUIs. I do not understand, how I can pause my GUIs for next 20 iterations without pausing my main program. The part of code is given below. Thank you in advance.

for k=1:1:N
        [high_img, high_imgObj] = ximread(sprintf('%s\\%s',xim_dir,high_files(k).name));
        [low_img, low_imgObj] = ximread(sprintf('%s\\%s',xim_dir,low_files(k).name));
        % Need to interpolate images since they are performed at different angles 
        
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%       
        %weight optimization using weight gui for different gantry angles
       
        gantryAngle = high_imgObj.KVSourceRtn.Value;
        fprintf('Gantry Angle %d,soft_weight %s\n and bone_weight %s\n',gantryAngle,soft_weight,bone_weight);
          soft_weight = helper_to_weight_gui('Tissue');
          waitfor(soft_weight);
          bone_weight = helper_to_bone_weight_gui('bone');
          waitfor(bone_weight);

askForWeights = 1;
for k = 1:N
   ...
    if k = askForWeights
        soft_weight = helper_to_weight_gui('Tissue');
        waitfor(soft_weight);
        bone_weight = helper_to_bone_weight_gui('bone');
        waitfor(bone_weight);
        askForWeights = askForWEights + 20;
    end
    ...
