How can I batch export only edited photos from a Lightroom catalog?

I’m moving away from Lightroom to another photo workflow tool and have a very large catalog. Most images were never edited, but I want to export just the photos that have Lightroom adjustments applied so I don’t need to re-edit them elsewhere. Is there a way to identify all edited images in Lightroom and export them in one batch, rather than selecting and exporting them one by one?

You can create a smart collection with a "Has adjustments" set to "true" rule.
Then all of the processed photos will be in that collection and you will be able to export them at once.

Yes. In Lightroom, create a Smart Collection that filters for images with edits applied. Use the rule:
- Has Adjustments = true
That Smart Collection will gather all photos that have Lightroom processing adjustments. You can then select the collection and export those images in one batch instead of doing them individually.
If you’re moving to software that won’t read Lightroom’s edits, exporting rendered files such as JPEG or TIFF will preserve the look of your processed photos.
