Add ability to add photo to top layer of 3D print in PE Slic3r?

It would be cool if there was the ability to add a photo to the top layer of a 3D print in a future version of PE Slic3r:

Not really sure that Slicer PE would be the right place to add a photo image. That would require the ability for it to add layers to an existing STL file along with the addition of additional input for dimensions, layer heights, bump mapping, etc.

If you want to add a photo/image to an item before slicing, it would be best to use another program that is designed for that ability due to the amount of variables and changes it would have to make so the existing file.
