In Dlib how do I save image with overlay?

Question

I'm trying to modify Dlib's face detection example to save an image with detections to a file since I'm using a server without GUI. So far I have only figured how to save the image but not the overlay. How do I save both to the same file?

//win.add_overlay(dets, rgb_pixel(255,0,0));
save_png(img, "detected.png");
