Edit with applications other than photoshop

It would be really nice if the Send to editor and Receive from editor commands would work with other image editors such as GIMP, or failing that just expose the image files themselves so that I can open them with whatever application I like. At the moment I don't have Photoshop so it doesn't seem possible to edit anything other than basic gradients.
Looking through the source it seems like the integration occurs inside TEPhotoshopController which is basically hardcoded to use certain applications. If there is a way I could assist in the refactoring of that, or the development of this feature then let me know, as I have written OS X apps before.
It has to do with Photoshop supporting applescript and as far as I recall GIMP doesn't have that ability to be told how to save or open and image externally like that.
As for the images you can just drag and drop them from the window to your desktop/folder wherever and open in desired editor.
But that changes it to a PNG, right? however, most of the elements you need to deal with are single color only, so all you need to do is drag it to the desktop, open it with GIMP, and after you're done mucking with it, simply export it (shift+command+E) as a .psd file. then drag it back to theme engine over the element you want to replace and done!
