Crude answer: turning on image-mode (or whatever you use, I don't really
know how people use emacs for images) in the new buffer should work.
A more surgical answer would have to go through auto-mode-alist,
magic-mode-alist and interpreter-mode-alist to select the correct mode for
the new buffer.

Does adding a (revert-buffer nil t) work?

If you always want to load the new picture as soon as it's generated,
enabling auto-revert-mode in the buffer would also do the trick.
