Using getDirectory() without arguments is equivalent of using getDirectory("Choose a Directory"),
i.e., it will trigger a prompt for user-selected directory.

Sure. Have a look at http://imagej.nih.gov/ij/developer/macro/functions.html#getDirectory

Thus, in your macro you could use:

  // to save the jpg copy next to loaded image
  fullpath = getDirectory("image");

  // to save the jpg on the User's home folder
  fullpath = getDirectory("home");

  // to save the jpg on the subdirectory "output" of the home folder
  fullpath = getDirectory("home") + output + File.separator;  

  // to save the jpg on some fixed location
  fullpath = "Path/To/Some/Fixed/Folder/;


HTH,
