Morphology

post-processing = processing (transparent) = post + process + ing

The prefix 'post-' (after) is productively attached to 'processing' to indicate actions occurring after the initial production, a directly inferable meaning.

Etymology

Post-processing is made from the prefix post- meaning 'after' and processing meaning 'working on or changing something'. So, post-processing is the extra work done 'after' something is first made to improve its quality or appearance.
