unphotoshopped
No editing applied
Unphotoshopped describes an image that hasn't been digitally altered or retouched—no smoothing of skin, no slimming of waists, no erasing of blemishes.
The term gained currency as photo manipulation became ubiquitous in advertising and social media: The magazine promised unphotoshopped images of models.
It often carries connotations of authenticity or vulnerability.
