You can set up Workflow Scripts for images that you're working on in FlySketch. Workflow Scripts will perform tasks with the image, taking it out of Flysketch and do whatever you want with it.
The Workflow Scripts that come pre-installed will take the image that you're currently working on and email it, add it to iPhoto, or open it in Preview.
2. Select "Open Workflow Scripts Folder"
If you're curious as to how to make your own, the easiest way is to open up one of the pre-installed ones in TextEdit and fiddle with it.
# FlySketchCloseWindow=YES
This tells FlySketch to close the window, setting this to NO or deleting it will leave the window up.
# FlySketchFormat=PNG
This tells FlySketch to format the image that its kicking out to a PNG despite what you've got it set to in the preferences.
/usr/bin/open -a iPhoto "$*"
This tells FlySketch to open the image in iPhoto.
You may have noticed that you can drag images into the Dock and applications that have the ability to open them will highlight. Any of those applications can be named in this script instead of iPhoto. Simply changing it to say "Acorn" will open the image in Acorn instead of iPhoto.

If you're curious about making or installing new ones, follow these steps:
1. Locate the Scripts button in FlySketch
2. Select "Open File Actions Folder"
3. Start Messing around!
From here you can duplicate the actions that are in there and edit them, or move in pre-made actions from around the net.

Shell, Python and AppleScript will work as long as they call the right things, which i'll write more on in a bit. You can also check out some premade scripts that aren't pre-installed, here are a few. If you have one that you would like me to add, email me∞.
