Morphology

unretouched = retouch (transparent) = un + retouch

The word 'unretouched' is clearly derived from 'retouch' with the prefix 'un-' indicating negation.

Etymology

Unretouched is made of un- meaning 'not' and retouch meaning 'to touch again', which comes from the simple word touch. So unretouched means something that was not changed or edited after it was first made, keeping its original look.
