First you identify the maximum value. Use the MAX command.

Then it depends what "eliminating" means, as you can't have a matrix whith holes it it :-) You may want to set those pixel values to e.g. zero.

"Of and around" the max - well that's the whole image. So just do

imageArray = zeros(size(imageArray));
