I was wondering how to do that. I've used pipes going to and from terminal applications before, but I wasn't sure how to pipe something into an application that's already running. I'll check that out... thanks.

Perhaps you can let the executed program write to a named pipe? that way you can instantly start reading the image in your main application. See "man 2 mkfifo".
