OpenCV – Saving images to a particular folder of choice

The solution provided by ebeneditos works perfectly.

But if you have cv2.imwrite() in several sections of a large code snippet and you want to change the path where the images get saved, you will have to change the path at every occurrence of cv2.imwrite() individually.

As Soltius stated, here is a better way. Declare a path and pass it as a string into cv2.imwrite()

import cv2
import os
img = cv2.imread('1.jpg', 1)
path="D:/OpenCV/Scripts/Images"
cv2.imwrite(os.path.join(path , 'waka.jpg'), img)
cv2.waitKey(0)

Now if you want to modify the path, you just have to change the path variable.
