Is there a way to import from Apple photos, export to desktop, and save the steps back to Apple photos?

Currently, I have this shortcut quick action setup:
Image

My goal is to
1. Open selected file in Apple Photos
2. Apply my custom preset
3. Improve white balance
4. Save it back to Apple Photos
5. Export a PNG

Any ideas how to do this?

Hi, Andrew. You can only save the image to Photos using Shortcuts by using the Save to Photo Album action (though keep in mind that this will only save a flattened version of your project). The workflow in your screenshot seems about right - just set the destination of your Save to Photo Album action to an actual album in your Photos library instead of the Shortcut Input.
