(Get the code!)
The problem with the IFX design is how ContentHub and the whole confinement framework work.
Confined apps don't own any user's content, so if I want to make the edited picture visible in gallery-app (which is the default application for pictures), I have to export it through ContentHub. And the way CH works breaks any user flow: it changes the focused application (from IFX to gallery-app), which is a disruptive action and suggests that the task has been completed.
That's why IFX is designed in 3 steps: import > edit > export.
If I keep the 'Edit' page visible, I would probably remove one of visual feedbacks that makes the user aware that no more actions are required.
I came up with an idea which could be a good compromise between a consistent UX and functionalities (see my bad handwork attached here).
The idea is to show an overlay in the main screen which allows the user to see the latest picture she has edited (during the same 'session'). If she taps on the overlay, IFX shows a page which allows to reapply filters (i.e. restore the previous editing) through the "Edit" button in the header, or to share the picture via an online service.
