Import photo edits into iPhoto

When i take a photo on my iPhone and use editing software, the photo is then saved on my phone with the edits saved.

However when i import the photos into iPhoto, the edits are not carried through.

For example if i take a photo on my iPhone and enhance with Camera + and save that photo, when I import into iPhoto, the enhancements do not carry over into my iPhoto album.

Is there any way to fix this?
