# Creative Core: Post-processing

Post-processing is just like applying filters to a photo you take with your phone. This can make your scene look more beautiful and interesting.

In this mission, you will use post-processing to achieve a particular look and feel in a scene.

By the time you complete this learning experience, you will be able to:

- Evaluate whether post-processing is an appropriate tool for a given goal.
- Implement a particular visual style in a project by configuring a post-processing profile.

About this learning experience

This project is a standalone learning experience which uses content developed for the [Creative Core pathway](https://learn.unity.com/pathway/creative-core). You’ll find everything you need to get started with post-processing in Unity, but you may also notice references to the guided learning journey for that pathway.

If you decide that you’d like to complete the whole [Creative Core pathway](https://learn.unity.com/pathway/creative-core), you can start at any time. You’ll receive credit for any tutorials that you have already completed when you do.
