If you just want to save single images you can use the image_view node and

You may save the current image by right-clicking on the display window. By default, images will be saved as frame0000.jpg, frame0001.jpg, ....

for storing all images image_view provides an image_saver tool that can be configured to save all images, or only to save when a service is called. This allows you to programmatically set what images are stored to disk.
