after initial processing
Etymology
'post-processing' originates from the prefix 'post-' meaning 'after' and the word 'process' meaning 'a series of actions or steps taken to achieve a particular end'.
'post-process' evolved from the combination of 'post-' and 'process' to describe actions taken after initial processing.
Initially, it meant 'to process after the main process', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
