post-filter

Beyond the sieve

Post-filter refers to filtering that occurs after an initial process or stage.

In data systems, a post-filter refines results that have already passed through earlier selection: The search engine applies a post-filter to remove duplicates.

In photography and video, post-filters are effects applied during editing rather than capture.

The term implies a secondary refinement step, distinguishing it from filters applied at the source.
