how do I save Mat imgH = frame + Scalar(0.299bright, 0.587bright, 0.114*bright); to a index-able image to my hard drive? I tried imwrite and it just crashes any ideas what I'm missing?

In my code where I state if (c == 's')

how do I save Mat imgH = frame + Scalar(0.299bright, 0.587bright, 0.114*bright); to a index-able image to my hard drive? I tried imwrite and it just crashes any ideas what I'm missing?
