Not currently.

Saving is a lot harder that loading.  With loaders you can always
promote image formats to something nice like RGB or RGBA.  With
saving, you cannot do that.  Saving an image requires a lot of
information about the file format you want to use, and duplicating
everything that the image format libraries provide does not make
sense.

So if you want to save images, use the image format libraries.
