Photography Asked by Santosh Kumar on November 11, 2020
I am using Lightroom, version 5.7.1 to be specific. I have shot many photos and edited (retouched) for a client, exported them. But my client is so paranoid that she also wants unedited version of the photo.
I know how to export photos simply. But how to export unedited one without losing my precious edits? Please note that I want to keep the straightening data (crop), but not other ones.
I want jpg format images. Not the originals, which is cr2 for me.
Answer to the new question :
I don't know any "automatic" method for what you ask. I'm afraid you will have to do it manually.
To be sure that you won't lose anything, you can do the following (no subtlety here) :
For each image of "B" :
Finally you can export the images of "B" for your paranoid client... and get a beer and delete everything of "B" to save space.
Original answer to the original question :
In the export options, setting "Format" to "Original" should do what you want : it will export your pictures as they are on your hard drive.
Exporting "original" picture (meaning RAW to me) while keeping some modifications from Lightroom seems impossible, they are not "original" anymore.
If you client use Lightroom, you could try to export "original", which come with a .XMP file containing your modification. You could then try to edit the XMP to keep what you want, as XMP are in the XML format (human readable).

You can also give him DNG exports and tell him those are the originals...

Go to the History pane in the Develop Module. Look for the event when you only straightened the photo. The photo will revert back to that very edit (unless you had made other edits before the straightening, they'll come too). Then export the photo as jpg. All your edits can then be restored by selecting the event with your last edit (with the "Export-" tag in the beginning. Hope this helps...

I think I found a solution to your problem described by user C Wills in a DPReview Forums post from 2012. I have tried to make a step-by-step recipe of his advice here.
Part one - create an unedited photo to copy all settings but crop factor from:
Part two - paste the settings from the unedited photo to virtual copies of your photos:
All settings that you had copied from the unedited photo are now applied to your selected virtual copies. You now have "unedited" versions of your photos with edited crop factor.
*) This explains how to make an unedited version of a photo from an edited version: 1. Create a virtual copy of any photo in your Lightroom collection with the same Process Version as the photos you want to reset (Ctrl + ') 2. Select the new virtual copy, and go to the Develop Module 3. Reset that photo back to it's original state with no changes by selecting pressing the Reset button in the bottom right corner of the right module panels or pressing Ctrl + Shift + R
