Morphology

undoctored = doctored (transparent) = un + doctor + ed

The prefix 'un-' clearly negates the meaning of 'doctored', indicating something that has not been altered.

Etymology

Undoctored comes from un- meaning 'not' and doctor which here means 'to change or fix something so it looks different'. So an undoctored photo is 'not changed' and is shown exactly as it was.
