It should be saved to $ROS_ROOT.
So my question is, is there any quick way to specify a specific

Yes, you can set the ~filename_format parameter prefixed with an absolute
path. From the command line:
$ image_view image:=my_image_topic
_filename_format:=/my_absolute_path/frame%04i.jpg
You can also use that parameter to change the naming and image format. All
the parameters are documented at
http://www.ros.org/wiki/image_view#image_view-1.
