How much post processing did you do on transparency film?

Philippe hi! always delighted to be in agreement.
To split hairs "post processing" is what?
Its processing isn't it? We're making the picture.
Its not something that's happening later is it?
Afterwards we email it or print it.  To me that's post.
"Post" to me means "after the fact" but what do I know?

I may think that because I think people think processing the pictures, Photoshop or Lightroom work is like some extra special thing you don't really need to do. Like in the old days when we brought our film to the drug store and they made snap shots for us.
Who needs a darkroom I got Walgreens?
