The Open With plugin can open files associated with a book record (including the cover) in external programs. It comes preconfigured with a command to open the cover in GIMP, but you can add other options as well.

You will want to use an actual image editor (like GIMP), so you can save the edits directly to the image file, as a JPEG. Then you don't need to re-add the cover to the book.
