Not sure why I am having a difficult time finding this out. I just need to save a webcam frame to my desktop.

how about something like this function appended to the gettingStartedCapture from the 1.5.1 examples:

void mouseReleased(){

save("/Users/yourhomedir/desktop/capture"+(capCount+1)+".jpg");

capCount++;

}

Add the capCount variable as a global for taking multiple captures without overwriting, otherwise skip the capCount+1 part:

void mouseReleased(){

save("/Users/yourhomedir/desktop/capture.jpg");

capCount++;

}

also need to change the path to your desktop depending on your os.

hope this helps!
