make a file snapedit.sh with the following, then you can bind a
keypress to launch it
gimp-remote just makes sure there is only one instance of the gimp
open, replace that with whatever image editor you want.

#!/bin/sh
DATE=`date`
import "/tmp/snapshot-$DATE.jpeg"
gimp-remote-1.3 "/tmp/snapshot-$DATE.jpeg"
