OpenCV imwrite() not saving image

Question

I am trying to save an image from OpenCV on my mac and I am using the following code and so far it has not been working.

cv::imwrite(\"/Users/nickporter/Desk         


        

Answer 1

Although it is not true for your case. This problem may arise if the image path given as argument to the cv::imwrite function exceeds the allowed maximum path length (or possibly allowed file name length) for your system.
