unbearbeitetes

Unbearbeitetes is the neuter singular form of the German adjective unbearbeitet in attributive use, meaning not processed, not edited, or raw. It denotes content or material that has not yet undergone processing, editing, or modification. The form is used before neuter nouns in singular, especially when there is no definite article; for example, unbearbeitetes Material or unbearbeitetes Foto. When a definite article is present, the ending changes accordingly (for instance, das unbearbeitete Material). With an indefinite article, as in ein unbearbeitetes Foto, the strong ending -es is used.

In practice, unbearbeitetes appears in contexts where a distinction is made between raw, unprocessed content and its edited or processed counterparts. Typical domains include data, media, and archival material. Common phrases include unbearbeitetes Material (raw material), unbearbeitetes Foto (unedited photo), or unbearbeitete Rohdaten (raw data). The term is widely understood in fields such as photography, film, journalism, and information technology, where versions of content may exist in both unprocessed and processed forms.

Etymologically, unbearbeitetes combines the prefix un- with bearbeitet, the past participle of bearbeiten (to edit or process). The contrast to bearbeitet or bearbeitetes is used to indicate a state prior to processing. Translations vary by context, commonly rendered as raw, unprocessed, or unedited in English. As a grammatical form, unbearbeitetes is not typically used as a stand-alone noun but as part of a larger noun phrase.
