retouchable

Able to correct

Retouchable describes something that can be retouched—edited, corrected, or refined after its initial creation.

The term appears most often with photographs and digital images: The raw files are retouchable if we need to adjust the lighting later.

It can extend to other work that allows for revision or touch-up: The paint is retouchable for about thirty minutes before it sets.
