I'm almost sure the answer will be "no", but I'm going to ask anyway: is there any way to filter edited pictures in Apple Photos? Aperture obviously had such an option, but so far I haven't found any equivalent in Photos.

If there's no easy way, is there any known workaround of which I'm not aware?

Under the View menu, Metadata, third choice in the list ;)

I don't know if you can search by that particular item though.

Believe can also create a Smart Album with condition of "is edited".

That's actually one of the things I already tried, as this was something I knew to work in Aperture. That option is in fact not available in Photos as far as I can see.

Please stop. This is already embarassing enough for me. :p

How the hell did I miss that? I have been mulling over the options for smart albums for quite a while and still did not see this option.
