Bug Description
After editing an image, it's automatically exported to the Gallery. It would be nice to add an option to save the image into another program (like Imaginario).
It could also be cool to remember the appId of the source app (there is a "source" property in the transfer object: https:/

Ciao Alberto,
InstantFX automatically finalizes the content transfer using gallery-app since there's no other way to export a picture to user's "Pictures" folder (not without an AppArmor exception, at least).
One of the most relevant drawbacks is that the 'source' application gets unfocused in order to provide a "visual" feedback of the transfer.
Sadly, this breaks any user flow I've tried to implement.
Anyway, the feature you propose is something interesting to have.
It could work as follow:
1) Edit your picture. Tap on 'DONE'.
2) The picture is saved in user's "Pictures" folder. This happens using an AppArmor exception[1].
3) InstantFX provides a "Share" page, which allows to send the pictures back to the application used as content peer when importing.
[1] which implies the application should be released in the OpenStore.
